The issue of rising street crime in Karachi has become a significant concern, as highlighted by the Pasban Democratic Party (PDP). According to Business Recorder, PDP Chairman Altaf Shakoor criticized the local police for their inaction, stating that "street crime is again rising in megacity Karachi, while police is in deep slumber." The article details an incident where the son of PDP media coordinator Aziz Fatima was robbed by three armed criminals, who intercepted him at the FTC Flyover and stole his motorcycle, mobile phone, and other valuables. This incident follows a similar robbery of another son of Aziz Fatima on January 6. Shakoor emphasized the difficulties citizens face in registering FIRs, citing a "culture in our police station" reminiscent of the colonial era, where citizens are discouraged from lodging complaints.
