The two detainees, who are yet to be identified had fired on and killed Eshal, 5, on April 9, 2018, when they faced resistance during a robbery attempt from the child’s neighbour, who was returning home in the Zaman Town locality after withdrawing cash.
They had managed to escape with cash worth Rs 50,000. Eshal was standing in her home’s verandah, holding the metal grill and playfully watching the street outside, when her neighbour, Mohib, who was chased by four suspects on motorcycles, was ambushed.
Eshal received a bullet and died on the spot during the gunfight between the dacoits and Mohib. Korangi is one of those areas in Karachi that experience rampant street crimes, with residents lamenting that authorities have not taken enough steps to curb criminal activities in the area.
