Karachi: Karachi's  additional inspector general of police has announced the launch of a ‘Shaheen Force’ to tackle the spike in crime incidents in the city.

According to reports, eight citizens fell prey to the bullets of muggers in the first four days of September.

Three station house officers (SHOs) have been suspended in District Korangi over their alleged failure to control street crime. The decision to launch a new police force was taken at a meeting on Monday, reports The News International.

Karachi police chief Jawed Alam Odho told the newspaper the Shaheen Force would comprise around 200 cops, including the sharp shooters.

The force will have the exclusive duty of preventing street crime and its members will be deployed on the streets of Karachi within a couple of days.

They will be equipped with modern weapons and radios to immediately respond to situations. The Shaheen Force cops will chase muggers and fight them.
