In a dramatic turn of events in Karachi’s Kemari area, police apprehended a suspect involved in a robbery that left a citizen injured by gunfire. A sacrificial animal was also caught in the crossfire and injured during the incident.
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kemari Faizan Ali reported that the incident occurred at Gulshan Ghazi Mor in Saeedabad, where two armed suspects opened fire. The prompt response by Saeedabad police led to a swift confrontation. After an exchange of gunfire, police arrested one of the suspects, identified as Huzaifa, while his accomplice, named Sohail, managed to escape.
SSP Ali indicated that there is a strong possibility the fleeing suspect was injured during the shootout. A nine-millimeter pistol was recovered from Huzaifa at the scene, adding to the evidence against him.
