The ‘knife attacker’ has been giving Karachites nightmares since the recent weeks. With a growing number of women being stabbed by this unknown assailant, panic has stricken the city of lights.
There were reports yesterday that the attacker had been identified and arrested by the police authorities, however, there has been a report of another vicious attack on a young teenage girl in the vicinity of Federal B. Area that took place last night.
According to SSP Central, Irfan Ali Baloch, the girl has been identified to be aged around 14-15 years and was stabbed while traveling on a motorbike with her brother. The attack took place near the Askari Imambargah and it was reported that the suspect fled after stabbing the girl.
The teenager has sustained severe injuries to her back and was treated at a private hospital. The police were informed about the attack and are carrying out an investigation, however, the weapon used in the incident has not been identified as yet.
A special squad of the Karachi police lead by District Korangi SSP Captain (retd) Haider Raza reported yesterday that they had succeeded in catching the criminal. Waseem was reportedly nabbed from Mandi Bahauddin in Punjab.
DIG Dr. Jameel said:
WASEEM HAS BEEN ARRESTED BY SAHIWAL POLICE. HOWEVER, IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR KARACHI POLICE TO COLLECT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. WASEEM SPENT VERY LITTLE TIME IN KARACHI.
However, no further details were revealed in regard to his identity and the reason behind the attacks.
A massive total of 16 women have been hurt in the last 3 weeks in these attacks. All of these ladies were attacked by the perpetrator with a supposedly sharp object.
It is now unsure whether the actual suspect held accountable for all these attacks has been arrested or not.
