KARACHI: Police on Saturday registered an FIR against the Bahria Town Karachi (BTK) security administration on charges of rioting, kidnapping and injuring villagers on the complaint of a village resident, official sources and rights activists said.
This decision was taken apparently after the late Friday night intervention by the top PPP leadership and the chief minister of Sindh.
On Friday, the BTK guards accompanied by police, both in civilian dress and uniforms, tried to destroy agricultural crops in Jam Kamal Khan Goth near Kathore to pave the way for new projects of the BTK. The move was resisted by the villagers. The guards resorted to firing, wounding three persons and also allegedly kidnapping the wounded persons and others who were later on rescued by the villagers and shifted to a hospital.
