Residents of Malir shouting slogans against a firing incident in Gharibabad.—Online
An exchange of fire between two groups in Malir triggered panic in several areas of the city.
The tension that started early in the morning in Khokhrapar Colony spread fear among the residents, causing shops to shut and leaving commuters hopeless.
The dead and the injured were shifted to Sindh government hospital and Jinnah hospital immediately.
“At least 11 people were killed and 15 others were wounded since last night,” home ministry official Sharafuddin Memon told AFP, but declined to comment whether they were ethnically-motivated killings.
Police official Saud Mirza said authorities were probing if political tensions fueled Friday’s killings.
Local police officials confirmed the death toll but did not give details.
