Screengrab of the police and onlookers gathered outside the shop the thief took refuge in.
Four robbers attempted to mug victims exiting a bank in the area and when they struggled, they shot two of them dead. The deceased were identified as Mukhtar and his friend. Mukhtar’s father was also injured as a result.
After the shooting, onlookers gathered and began to attack the thieves, killing one of them. Two of the robbers fled the scene while another took refuge inside a shop.
The mob attempted to open the shutter of the shop but the police reached before the crowd could lynch the robber.
Police resorted to aerial firing to scatter the mob of people that demanded the police hand the robber over to them.

Job well done! Clearly shows inefficiency of Police and failure of state!!!
You fools! You were supposed to cut his hand, not kill him.
Are they really robbers? They killed two other people so surely they were murderers who also happened to be robbers!
Time for vigilantism, people to take law into their own hands. That is the only solution to protect ourself, as the law enforcement agencies are all in cahoots with the bandits, and the rulers couldn't care less for us.
Incidentally I approve of this method of justice in modern day Pakistan ... thats the only solution left to deter the new wannabe "daakoos" owing to the corrupt and incompetent state security machinery !!!
@Dr Lee: and it was good so!
Nothing is free in this world. Their is a price attached to everything even robbery n bhatta! If you indulge in them then YOU have to pay for it. SIMPLE!
It reminds me of what happened to the two young brothers in Sialkot. They were also called robbers and lynched to death.
Mob justice is best justice. See how police protect the thieves. Next it will be the police who will be targeted by the mob. Police cant show efficiency in protecting the citizens, but act swiftly to protect the robbers.
@ahmer, spot on! remember Zulfiqar Mirza's outbursts in favor of the burned muggers??? He never got so angry over the killings of innocent civilians by these gangsters!
Justice served
As much as I hate to say it; serves them right. It's because of these "robbers", TTP being one of them, that our country is so messed up.
Ganga jal style revolution is yet to come in Karachi... "Samaaj ko police waisi hi milti hai jaisa ki samaaj khud hota hai"
Well done! thats the treatment these muggers deserve who kill innocent people for petty mobiles worth a few thousands.
Police would now let the arrested (saved mugger) free after receiving its share... Someone once said as a joke that 50% crimes would vanish if we get rid off the Police. On a serious note its worth pondering as Police is basically the protector of criminals and not innocent here.
Good...a couple more of these and things will improve. Now you will see all terror supporters coming out and saying things in defence of these robbers.
While the Police failed in performing its basic duties and uncounted cases are pending in the courts for delivering justice, I think that the " mob justice" will provide relief to the people of Karachi upto certain extent.
you really cant feel sorry for the robbers. the public will take matters in their own hands if the police are so inefficient.
A shining example of how a modern state is run.
