KARACHI: While Rangers and police continued targeted operations in Karachi, including Lyari, a key figure of the outlawed Peoples Amn Committee Zafar Baloch was shot dead Wednesday by unknown assailants on motorcycles in Lyari.
Tension and fear gripped the city’s south district, particularly Lyari and its adjoining areas, following the killing of Baloch. Law-enforcement agencies claimed to have adopted strict security measures to prevent any reaction to the violent incident in which a guard of the slain leader was also killed.
Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah, also the provincial president of the PPP, condemned the killing in a statement which did not describe Zafar Baloch as a PPP man. Moreover, Provincial Information Minister Sharjeel Inaam Memon also condemned the killing.
Late on Wednesday night, police placed containers and barricades to block the road leading to the Chief Minister’s House in view of a possible protest by supporters of Zafar Baloch.
Police said that Zafar Baloch, 46, and his guard Muhammad Ali were targeted by assailants when he was returning from the Lyari General Hospital where bodies of three suspected gangsters killed in a shootout with Rangers were shifted.
