Six people, including a minor girl, were wounded in separate firing incidents in parts of the city on Friday. A four-year-old girl, identified as Ayesha, was wounded after a stray bullet hit her in Lasi Goth within the limits of the Sohrab Goth police station. She was rushed to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for medical treatment.
Separately, two men, 30-year-old Tanvir and 25-year-old Najeeb, were injured in a firing incident that took place in the Singu Lane area in Lyari within the limits of the Chakiwara police station.
The casualties were shifted to the Civil Hospital, Karachi. Police said the two men were shot for putting up resistance during a mugging bid. In a similar incident, two more people were wounded after being shot for offering resistance during a mugging bid on Shahrah-e-Iraq within the Preedy police’s limits. The injured persons were taken to the Civil Hospital, Karachi, where they were identified as Nadeem Ahmed, 45, and Salar Shah, 40.
The commission is under pressure to complete its work by the end of June. Zondo was adamant the incidents will not have a significant impact on its deadline.
“The men and women who keep this commission going every day dedicate a lot of extra hours in the evenings and over weekends and are very determined that the work of the commission is completed,” he said.
“I certainly will not be intimated by anybody into not finishing the work the way it should be done. We are determined to do what we are required to do and to do it properly.”
