At least one man was killed and several injured in Pakistan s biggest city Karachi Tuesday when a riot broke out in protest at the rape and murder of a six-year-old girl.
Crowds took to the streets after the body of the victim was discovered late Monday, blocking a main road in the western suburb of Orangi Town in western Karachi where they hurled stones at riot police.
"One man has died because of a gunshot," said Aamir Farooqi, the police chief in the district. "We are investigating whose bullet caused that death."
A second police official confirmed the figure.
Relatives of the girl and hundreds of residents were angry over what they say has been police laxity in the case. A medical report said the child had been sexually assaulted and strangled.
As the demonstration boiled over, police fired in the air over the crowd and attacked demonstrators with batons.
Two protesters suffering from gunshot wounds were brought to nearby Abbasi Shaheed hospital, where one died later.
Another senior police officer said 10 to 15 police officials were injured during the violence.
The accused Raheem and Fazal were presented before the city court which handed the accused on remand till 25 April.
