Zubair Baloch, brother of imprisoned Uzair Baloch, was shot and critically injured in Karachi’s Lyari area. Police are investigating the attack as potential gang rivalry or personal enmity, with two passersby also injured. Zubair had joined a political party recently, and rumors suggest returned gangsters may reignite past conflicts in the region.

A 20-year-old man accused of sexually assaulting and murdering a six-year-old boy in Karachi was granted a five-day physical remand by a judicial magistrate. The child's decomposed body, showing multiple bone injuries, was found in an empty plot near Lea Market after being allegedly kept on the suspect's rooftop and later discarded.

Karachi's South Zone police have developed an anti-drug policy in collaboration with 22 universities and schools to combat narcotics consumption in educational institutions. The policy emphasizes prevention, parental engagement, and institutional accountability, including anti-drug committees, awareness campaigns, and cooperation with law enforcement to prevent drug infiltration.
