They were charged with the killing of an 11-year-old boy, Naeem, and attacking a police party which went to arrest MQM-H activists in sector 5-J of New Karachi.

The AJ referred to a news appearing in an English daily and said, according to the news report, the boy was killed in police firing. He expressed serious concern for implicating innocent citizens in false cases. He asked senior police officers to take necessary disciplinary action against the police officials who are implicating citizens in false cases.—APP
