Situationer: Resorting to ‘encounters’: are Sindh police losing faith in legal system?
Sindh police in Karachi are increasingly adopting Punjab's Crime Control Department (CCD) style of 'encounters' to combat crime, citing frustration with the legal system and a desire to prevent Punjab-based criminals from fleeing to Sindh. Officials claim this approach targets habitual offenders and Punjab fugitives who commit crimes in Karachi, though it carries risks of collateral damage.
