Two employees of a telecommunication company were lynched by an angry mob on Friday in Karachi over rumours of child kidnapping. The incident took place in Machar Colony, where two employees of the telecom company were tortured to death by the mob when they came to check the signals of the cellular network in the area.
Meanwhile, DIG South took notice of the incident and sought a report from Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kiamari, Fida Hussain Janwari, in this regard.
SSP Kiamari said that both people were employees of a telecom company. “All aspects of the incident are being investigated,” he said.
The police also confirmed that the victim’s vehicle, bearing registration number ALB- 946, was set on fire.
Arif, the cousin of one of the victims, Aiman Javed, told reporters at the Civil Hospital’s Trauma Center that the victim was the youngest of his four siblings and had earned an engineering degree from Sindh University.
“He was working at a telecom company and belonged to Thatta. He was about to get married after some time,” Arif said.
Meanwhile, the uncle of the other lynched man, Saeed Ishaq Panwhar, also spoke to the media and revealed that he was employed as a driver at the telecom company for the last four to five months.
