The internet has a way of bringing both joy and horror to our screens. A recent video from Karachi falling in the latter category has been going viral. This has in-turn been sending shockwaves through the city and sparking serious safety concerns for the people. Let’s have a closer examination of what really happened and the dangers it exposes.
Crime Doesn’t Discriminate: No One Is Safe In Karachi
The video, being circulated on social media shows what appears to be a harmless scene: a bearded guy and a rickshaw driver waiting by their rickshaw. The man with the beard is on the phone and claims to be waiting for someone who can pay him. A third individual walks into the picture and offers them both a cool treat to beat the heat in the form of sugarcane juice, which is a a common street beverage in Karachi.
The following development was anything but refreshing. We can see the rickshaw driver starts to show signs of fatigue after drinking the sugarcane juice. While they are sitting on the stairs and talking after a while he finally passes out. The bearded man can be seen looking left and right making sure no one is the wiser of the scene and lays next to him while talking. The man can be seen to be making sure that the driver is out and hatches the final plot of his devious plan. After the victim loses consciousness, the bearded man abducts the rickshaw and vanishes into the streets.
