KARACHI: Three cops were arrested after they shot dead a youth in the port city for allegedly speeding away when signalled to stop, the police confirmed.
Two youths were riding a motorcycle when Shaheen Force officers asked them to stop in the vicinity of Sharea Faisal Police Station, but they did not adhere to their directions, Karachi East Deputy Inspector-General Muqaddas Haider said.
As a result, the cops chased them and entered a building near the Gulsitan-e-Jauhar’s Jauhar Mor area, where they shot dead one of the young men, identified as Amir Hussain, as he was climbing stairs, the high-ranking police official said.
When the incident took place, people scrambled as uncertainty gripped the neighbourhood.
