Sources claim that while the other accused was charged in connection with the Gatka possession case, the first accused was freed after reportedly accepting a bribe.
According to a report by the Citizens-Police Liaison Committee (CPLC), there was a rise in street crime in Karachi in April 2024, with 5,789 offenses reported in the city.
According to a news report on Thursday, Sindh Police officers allegedly accepted payments before releasing the thieves who had been apprehended in Karachi’s Landhi neighborhood.
According to those with knowledge of the situation, the Karachi police reportedly freed one of the two robbers who had been detained after he was accused of accepting bribes, while the other was charged with having gatka.
It is significant to remember that the police patrolling party caught the robbers two days prior, discovering weapons and pilfered cell phones on them.
The family of the motorcycle rider recognized the accused thieves right away, according to sources, and the police arrested them while they were still hurt.
But Korangi police officers detained both of the accused and brought them to the police station, where it is said that SHO Korangi and other individuals struck a “deal.”
