Watched by scores of people, an enraged crowd on Wednesday burnt three alleged dacoits to death in Ranchor Lines. The lynch crowd captured these three people whom they considered guilty of a crime, did not allow them to have a fair trial in court, and killed by setting them on fire (picture is not being printed because of its gory details).
Police sources told Business Recorder that three unknown armed men, aged between 30 and 35years, barged into flat No 303 in Samia Kalam Building at Timber Market, in Ranchor Lines area on Wednesday. The dacoits fired at and injured flat owner's son, Akbar Soomro, upon his resistance.
The gun shots reverberated in the area and a large number of residents gathered outside the building. The crowd badly pummelled the three alleged dacoits as soon as they came out of the building while trying to flee the scene. The enraged crowd set them on fire. Two of them died on the spot. The injured dacoit, identified as Baber, was rushed to the Burns Ward of Civil Hospital where he succumbed to injuries.
According to police, the charred bodies also bore gun shot wounds, which showed that the "outlaws" were fired upon before they were burnt to death. In Civil Hospital, SHO Eidgah Nasir Mehmood misbehaved with journalists who were there to cover the incident. Police also deprived a private TV channel cameraman of his camera. IGP Sindh Dr Shoaib Suddle constituted a committee to inquire into the matter, with DSP Mazhar as its head.
