The administration of the rehab center in Karachi has submitted a formal statement to the police, and efforts are underway to register an FIR and trace the escaped addicts.
However, in a twist during the preliminary investigation, Mominabad Police Station’s SHO stated that the assault may not have been carried out by drug dealers, but rather by local residents.
He explained that the neighborhood had grown increasingly frustrated with the patients, accusing them of theft and other criminal activities, which allegedly prompted the mob action.
