KARACHI: An Anti-Vehicle Lifting Cell (AVLC) team of Karachi police engaged in a shootout with car-snatching suspects in the Sohrab Goth area, resulting in the arrest of one injured suspect while two accomplices managed to escape.
The encounter occurred near Buraq Petrol Pump within the jurisdiction of Sohrab Goth police station, where the AVLC team was conducting a routine patrol. Police said they signalled a suspicious vehicle to stop, after which the occupants opened fire, prompting a retaliatory response.
