Zia-ul-Hassan Lanjar, Sindh’s interior minister, has issued an order for an immediate probe to determine what caused the “mysterious deaths” in Karachi. He expressed his profound sorrow and remorse over the incidents.
The interior minister said, “K-Electric will be held accountable if the inquiry reveals prolonged load shedding as the primary cause of these deaths.”
If the investigation finds that prolonged load shedding was the main factor in these deaths, he threatened to seek murder charges against KE administrators and any other culpable parties.
Three more bodies were found in various parts of Karachi earlier in the day as dead bodies kept turning up all across the city for the third day in a row.
The victims were discovered on walkways in Manghopir, Orangi Town, and Gulshan-e-Maymar, according to rescue personnel.The body of 50-year-old Munawar was discovered in Orangi No. 12 and was later shifted to the hospital, meanwhile, the identities and causes of death of the other two victims, a 50-year-old man found in Gulshan-e-Maymar neighborhood and a 35-year-old male near the Manghopir canal, remain unclear.
