This year in Karachi the sanctity of the holy month of Ramazan and the festivities leading to the celebration of Eid were overshadowed by the sharp rise in crime, which for the first time included cold-blooded senseless murders some of them carried out at point blank range.
The tragic aspect of these murders were that the victims were unarmed and in some cases did not even offer any resistance.
The ones that dampened the spirits of the populace and brought out feelings of outrage were the murders of young men cut down in the prime of their life and who were supporting their families through hard work; sometimes working till early hours of the morning.
Some of these young men were really desperate to have attempted to overcome armed robbers and for good reason as was later revealed when the entire story of what transpired was made public.
In one such incident It seems that the murdered young man had valuable data in his cell phone and did not have a backup so he put up a fight to save his mobile and was shot dead on the spot.
Also tragic was the uncalled for killing of a food delivery young man........
