KARACHI: Two suspects were killed on Monday night in a shootout with police in Karachi, officials claimed.
Officials said that an exchange of fire took place between the law enforcers and the suspects near New Sabzi Mandi area of the metropolis. As a consequence, both the suspects were gunned down.
In another 'encounter' in Mominabad area, police said, a suspect was wounded and subsequently arrested. He was being further interrogated.
Encounters like these have become a common occurring in Karachi, as the city has long been plagued by criminals associated with banned outfits and political parties.
In September 2013, law enforcement agencies (LEAs) launched a crackdown with intent to cleanse the city of all criminals.
Though, the crackdown was followed by a considerable drop in crime in the megapolis, the families of suspects and rights groups accuse the law enforcement of rights violations.
