A 12-year-old boy was killed while three others sustained injuries on Saturday in a firing incident between two groups in New Karachi’s sector 11-J area.

According to a private news channel, a clash between the workers of two political parties in New Karachi, left a 12-year-old boy killed. Three others were sustained injuries in the same incident.

The deceased child was identified as 12-year-old Abdul Rehman. Whereas injured Ashraf, 40, was beaten with a stick, and Shumail, 16, received a bullet injury to his leg. Both of them were under treatment and were out of danger, said the police.

A huge contingent of police, including the senior superintendent, reached the site of the incident and initiated an investigation into the incident, which took place in New Karachi’s Sector 11-J. Police said the tearing of a political party’s poster sparked the encounter. The law enforcers initially took one person into their custody for his embroilment in the incident.

Later, in a joint raid by police and rangers, 34 people were arrested, said the senior superintendent of police (SSP). Furthermore, a first information report (FIR) has been lodged at the New Karachi police station.
