Extortion retaliation?: Grenade thrown at departmental store
The Chase departmental store is situated near the NIPA Chowrangi in Gulshan-e-Iqbal within the limits of Aziz Bhatti police station.
Upon being alerted on the attack, a heavy contingent of Rangers and police reached the site while the bomb disposal squad was also summoned to the site.
Police officials said that two men riding a motorcycle had thrown the grenade. They added that some parked vehicles were partially damaged in the attack.
The assailants managed to make good their escape.
Officials believed the grenade was thrown after the store operators refused to pay extortion money, before hastily adding that investigation were still underway.

day after day WE SEE KARACHI as a battle ground... why do not all the failed politicos from all reflections resign and let more able persons take up the cause to bring about peace and tranquility (as it is you have made enough illegal money) ... evident it is to all everywhere in the city how these failed politicians have produced a failed police force along side a failed legal prosecution. volumes and volumes can be written about how these 3 collective branches have failed the masses of karachi....last case in recent memory was when an entire police force failed to arrest a wanted criminal in Lyari yet day after day during this drama tv anchors were doing fresh interviews with the most wanted. even our Jails can not afford to buy mobile/data JAMMERS because it is a open secret in karachi that most crimes occur on command from inside.....yet our city administration has enough money for the CM house & Governor house... cars planes servants etc etc.... we have graduated from a TT city to a GRANADE city..... soon we will see RPG's and shoulder mounted rockets with the criminals. failed politicos blame Gen Zia for all of this ... however foolish they look while saying it ... but NONE have come up with a remedy for the CUREABLE disease which clearly says they could not care less for the masses...... CITIZENS NOTE AND UNDERSTAND our politicos/police/government prosecutors only care about rigging votes, how to make money while in office and then blame others. MAY PEACE PREVAIL ...AMEEN
Will the pseudo-liberals call this terrorism? PPP govt's mismanagement & criminal negligence? Revenge of democracy? Mirza? Ali Salman Alvi? Uza Syed? Jibran? Khalq-e-Khuda? Anybody. Blame this on Tribesmen & Imran Khan & off-course the Judiciary.
