Pakistan’s Karachi is currently confronting a troubling and mysterious trend as 22 unidentified bodies have been discovered in various parts of the metropolis, reported Geo News on Wednesday. The situation intensified after five new bodies were found on Tuesday, raising concerns about the unexplained deaths.
According to the Chhipa Welfare Association (a non-profit welfare organisation) in Pakistan, three of the latest victims appear to be drug addicts. However, it has been reported that despite efforts by the organisation’s volunteers, none of the 22 bodies have been identified yet.
“Volunteers found five more bodies in different areas of Karachi on Tuesday. Three of them were seemingly drug (/topic/drug) addicts, however, not a single body was identified so far,” A spokesperson of the Chhipa Welfare Association said in a statement on Tuesday.
The deaths were attributed to an ongoing heatwave in the port city which affected a vast number of citizens as many of them were admitted to different hospitals due to heatstroke.
An official of another humanitarian organisation in Karachi, Edhi Foundation’s Azeem Khan told The News that most of the deceased were drug addicts,
who died due to severe heat while being under the influence of drugs after over a dozen unidentified persons were found dead in different areas of Karachi.
Meanwhile, In Karachi a senior citizen was brutally assaulted by a group of drug users after confronting them about openly using drugs outside his residence, ARY News reported.
According to details, the victim attempted to stop the youths from engaging in drug activity in front of his home, which provoked the youths, resulting in severe violence against the elderly man.
