KARACHI (Dunya News) – A body has been found on Tuesday in Muzaffarabad Colony which falls in precincts of Quaidabad Police Station.

Police officials stated that a pistol was recovered from near the body. However, it was not told whether the security agency was considering odds of suicide in the case.

The body was shifted to a nearby hospital while it is yet to be identified.

Separately, a man was injured in a firing incident in Korangi area. Karachi, a city of over 2 million people is battling unrest and attempts to destabilize the economic hub.

Indian intelligence agents were caught in the recent past including an in-service naval officer who confessed to using anti-state elements to fail China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and spread unrest.

The city is struggling with target killings, street crime, demands of extortion money and terror attacks.

Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s leader who has been living in London since 1992 under political asylum was alleged numerous times in the past of having links with RAW, Research and Analysis Wing of India and getting funding from the neighbouring country.

Around four-month old party, Pak Sar Zameen’s chief, Mustafa Kamal who is a renegade of MQM and ex-nazim of Karachi, has accused Altaf several times of working on RAW’s agenda to destabilize the country.

Altaf is under investigation for mainly two cases by Scotland Yard and Metropolitan Police. One involving co-founder of MQM, Dr Imran Farooq s murder in London and the other over money-laundering accusations. 

On the other hand, a targeted operation was initiated against criminals, target killers and notorious gangs of Lyari in 2013.

Rangers Director General Major General Akbar Bilal, stated more than once that crime incidence has fallen in number in the city owing to the operation while locals demanded the federation to extend troops’ special powers citing better living conditions.

Federal government has been extending Rangers’ policing authority in Sindh’s capital since 2013 after every few months.
