KARACHI:
Following  a violent Sunday, Karachi saw five people die in different parts of the city due to the deteriorating law and order situation, Express News reported on Monday.

Two bodies were recovered from the Bin Qasim area, while unidentified armed men attacked a car in Nazimabad, leaving one dead.

The ongoing violence in the restive Lyari also claimed two lives.

Lyari unrest

As the wave of violence in parts of Lyari continues for the third day, armed rival groups in the area hurled 10 hand grenades on Monday.


Residents have been confined to their houses because of the intense violence, while the battle between the opponents left two dead and six injured.

Criminal elements have reportedly set up check posts on the top of the houses and have deployed machine guns.

The gang members are communicating through walkie-talkies to coordinate attacks.

Police and Rangers personnel are unable to enter the area.

On June 8, a clash broke out between Kutchi Rabita Committee (KRC) and a rival group shortly after a young man, Arif Baloch, was killed and his friend was injured in Kalri.
