F.P. Report

KARACHI: Six suspects have been arrested during raids in different parts of Gulistan-e-Jauhar area of the city in a bid to find out the person attacking women with a knife in the area.

According to East SSP Samiullah Soomro, the arrested persons resemble the accused. However, he added, the suspects were being probed over the matter.

Panic gripped people in Gulistan-e-Jauhar area of the city when cases of knife attack on women were reported. So far, at least nine women have been attacked in the similar manner.

Pictures of a suspect — allegedly involved in the infamous knife attacks — were released by Karachi police late Saturday.

“The suspect appears to be a thin man, aged 20-29,” East DIG Sultan Khawaja said, adding that “he appears to be five feet, seven to nine inches tall” and usually rides a red motorcycle.

East DIG Sultan Khawaja announced that anyone who helps provide information, which could lead to suspect’s arrest, would be awarded Rs0.5 million.

A female student of University of Karachi said police officers have advised women to be careful while walking on the streets. “We have been directed to not leave our houses after twilight,” explained another student.
