KARACHI - Even the holy month of Ramadan could not stop target killers from bloodbath and at least 154 people were shot dead and many more injured in Karachi during the month, according to the official figures released here.
The figures once again exposed the complete failure of the Sindh government and Karachi police to curb the on-going daily killings of eight to 10 people in the mega city.
Among those silenced by the bullets of criminals include men, women and children, activists of political parties, lawyers, doctors, different religious sects and law enforcement personnel.
Meanwhile, a report of investigation into the killings was submitted to the Inspector-General (IG) Police of Sindh by the intelligence agencies operating in Karachi claiming an outlawed organisation was behind the surge in incidents of target killings.
