A girl from Karachi lost her life to a snatching incident gone bad
For years, Karachi has been the hub of street crimes. Mobile and wallet snatching incidents are routine practices. But still, we see no authorities taking action on these alarming rates of street crimes.
Misbah, a 24-year-old girl from Karachi was shot during a snatching incident gone bad
Misbah was student of Hamdard University, she was shot dead at the Mochi Moore, Gulshan-e- Iqbal. Misbah was said to be in the car with her father, waiting for her bus. Two men stopped the car to snatch her belongings at gunpoint.
While they were carrying on the snatching, their gun dropped inside the car. Misbah’s father quickly asked her to return their gun. As soon as they got their gun, they shot the innocent girl and fled away.
The victim was a third-year student of Hikmat (Faculty of Eastern Medicine). She was just two years away from establishing herself as a doctor.

They’re pointing out the fact that no CCTVs were installed in the area, which could have been used to generate footage, leading to the arrest of the suspects
The place where #Misbah was murdered, there was no CCTV installed at the signal; nd none of the CCTV cameras installed by private entities working in the nearby area.

People are calling out the government for pretending that Karachi is safe again and turning a blind eye to the truth
Sindh police is the worst and incompetent police in the world. SriLankan team can have the best presidential security but the student of our city can never feel safe in her vicinity. Where is the state or are we living in a stateless society? #justiceforMisbah

The city of lights is gradually becoming a very dark place to live, yet again. With elevated street crimes and no regard for human life, the security of the city is seriously dubious. It’s about time that the concerned authorities take action, instead of continuing with their petty blame games. They need to wake up, before we have to suffer a tragedy again.
We extend the deepest condolences to the grieving family. May justice be truly served for Misbah.
