This news item has just appeared on the GEO website and shows the frustration of the Pakistani public. Such incidents have started happening regularly and the people, with no other option left, have taken the law into their own hands.
A bandit was severely thrashed by enraged public, when he was robbing a
citizen near Jail Chowrangi, while the police, known for its expertise
in rescuing the bandits, foiled public attempt to burn him by
sprinkling petrol.
The incident was reported within the
jurisdiction of the Jamshed Quarters police station. The public poured
petrol over the bandit and were about to set him on fire, when the
police reached the spot and saved the man.
Karachi police said that the
accused Muhammad Amjad was caught red-handed by the citizens, when he
was trying to snatch away mobile and other valuables on gunpoint. The
desperate citizens, who now appear to have lost all faith in the
police, judiciary and the so-called civil society, have started
dispensing mass justice.
The bandit was, therefore, severely thrashed
and the public was about to burn him by pouring petrol, when the police
arriving in a dramatic manner saved bandit’s life. Police said that one
accomplice of the accused could not be caught. Jamshed Quarter police
have registered a case and the runaway accused Anwar Ali was being
hunted down. Share your thoughts by posting a Talk-Back:
