    Man booked for stabbing fashion designer, sons in Karachi

    A First Information Report (FIR) has been filed against a resident of Karachi’s Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Falcon Complex for stabbing and injuring fashion designer Moazzam Khan and his two sons over a parking dispute.

    In the video clips, which have gone viral on social media, a man can be heard and seen exchanging hot words with Durrani over the way he reversed the car. As the argument grew intense, Ibrahim stabbed Moazzam and his two sons – Fahad Moazzam and Ata Moazzam – with a Swiss knife and fled the scene.

    In the FIR, Moazzam also said that he took his injured sons to the Aga Khan University Hospital himself despite being injured.

    “My wife informed me that Ibrahim Durrani also resorted to aerial firing,” Moazzam said in the FIR, adding that the assailant had also threatened them with “dire consequences” if the matter was reported to the police.

    Later, the Shahrah-e-Faisal Police registered a case against Durrani under Sections 324 [attempt to murder] and 337-H(II) [Whoever does any act so rashly or negligently as to endanger human life or the personal safety of other, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three months, or with fine, or with both] read with 34 [Criminal acts by several persons in furtherance of common intention] of the Pakistan Penal Code.

    Ibrahim and his father Khalid Durrani, an official of the Pakistan Air Force, have been booked in the case and the Investigation Police has been assigned the case’s probe. However, no arrests have been made so far.

    According to reports, Shahrah-e-Faisal investigation officer Israr Afridi, the police had raided the suspects’ house but they were not found there. He said the police later confronted Khalid, who was sick.

    Afridi maintained that Khalid was neither seen in the CCTV footage of the incident, nor any evidence was found against him, which was why the police did not arrest him. However, another report has said that Khalid instigated his son to “attack them more”.

    He said Ibrahim’s mobile had been powered off and suspected that he had deliberately switched off the phone to avoid arrest.

    Efforts are underway to trace him using his mobile phone’s location and call detail record, Afridi said, adding that he believes Durrani’s mental condition is not stable.

  • Karachi police pop their rollerblades on to catch criminals

    Karachi police pop their rollerblades on to catch criminals

    Police in Karachi are deploying an armed rollerblading unit to curb theft and harassment on the teeming streets of the port city.

    Gliding in a circle with their weapons pointed inwards, and lifting and lowering the guns in unison, the 20-member unit clad in black undergoes rigorous training.

    “We felt we needed to come up with an innovative approach to control street crime,” said Farrukh Ali, chief of the unit, explaining that officers on rollerblades could more easily chase thieves on motorcycles through the city of 20 million.

    Ali conceded that rollerblading police could not be deployed across many parts of Karachi due to the poor road conditions and uneven footpaths, but said they would be sent to public places with a higher incidence of theft and harassment.

    “This is just the beginning,” said Aneela Aslam, a policewoman on the unit. “This rollerblading will really benefit us. With this training, we can reach narrow alleys very quickly where it is usually difficult to go.”

    Safety concerns were raised when initial footage of the Karachi unit’s training showed officers carrying heavier weapons, but Ali said the unit would only carry handguns, reducing the risk of bullets richocheting.

    The rollerblading police – who follow in the footsteps of similar units in Europe and elsewhere – are expected to begin officially next month, but they were recently spotted outside the venue of the Pakistan Super League cricket tournament.

    And they have already begun patrolling Karachi’s bustling beachfront.

    “Seeing them here in clean uniforms since the morning gives us a sense of security, as even in daytime, snatchings occur here,” said pedestrian Muhammad Azeem.

  • Man steals baby camel for girlfriend

    According to media reports, a man in Dubai stole a newborn camel, and gave it to his girlfriend as a birthday gift. He was later arrested after making a false story about the robbery.

    Earlier this month, the owners of the baby camel reported to the local police that their camel was missing.

    Talking about how they found the missing camel, Director of Bur Dubai Police Station, Brig Khadim said, “We searched for the baby camel but it disappeared and we were unable to find any evidence. After a few days, a man called claiming that he found the camel in front of his farm. His story wasn’t logical as the the two farms were three kilometres apart and the newborn camel wouldn’t have been able to walk this distance,”

    The director further added, “The thief broke into the farm and found the newborn camel. He carried the camel and escaped. The pair didn’t know how to look after the camel and decided to create a fake story of finding the camel.”

    Meanwhile, during the interrogation the thief admitted to stealing the baby camel.

    The camel has been given back to the owners and the police have arrested the suspect along with his girlfriend on charges of “theft and making a false statement”.

    16-year-old girl surrenders after killing father for abusing mother

    A 16-year-old girl in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh allegedly beat her father to death because he used to get drunk and abuse her mother. 

    According to reports, a police official said: “The man was unemployed and lived off the earnings of his eldest son, who works as a mason (a bricklayer). The family was dealing with a difficult situation as the man was an alcoholic and would abuse his family. He was especially violent towards his wife.”

    The family was sitting together to discuss the eldest son’s marriage when the father started fighting with the mother again.

    Furious and tired of the daily abuse, the 16-year-old picked up a washing bat and beat her 45-year-old father. He began bleeding but the girl picked up a lohangi (a traditional stick with iron rings) and kept hitting him.

    After killing him on the spot, she called the police and confessed to the crime. She also told them that she was waiting to be arrested.

    Bhopal Police have registered a case and sent the teenage girl to a juvenile shelter, which helps to enforce protection, rehabilitation, and restoration of juveniles (below the age of 18 years) convicted for a crime.

  • Aunts murder 2-year-old nephew over ‘jealousy’ with brother’s wife

    Two women were arrested in Uttar Pradesh, India for allegedly murdering their two-year-old nephew over “jealousy” with his mother. They killed their nephew and hid his dead body in the wardrobe after covering it with a blanket.

    As per reports, the child had gone missing and on September 29, the family approached the local police station and registered a case for “missing person”.

    Later that night, the toddler’s body was recovered from the wardrobe and taken to a hospital where doctors confirmed the death and determined asphyxiation (the state or process of being deprived of oxygen) to be the cause behind his death.

    “The matter was investigated and the two aunts were questioned based on evidence indicating their involvement. The two women have confessed to killing the child and have been arrested,” stated police officials.

    The incident took place when accused Pinki, who is married and is the elder sister of co-accused Rinki, had visited her parent’s house. 

    Both siblings, around 30 years of age, told police that they were upset with the child’s mother Sapna, the wife of their brother, over her attitude towards them, according to the police.

    They were also “jealous” of Sapna as their brother always supported her and often taunted the sisters on various issues, giving rise to hatred among them that led to the extreme step by the duo, the police said.

    They added that an FIR has been filed against them at the Surajpur police station.
