Sindh govt mulls over introducing strict law to curb street crimes.

KARACHI -- The Sindh higher authorities have mulled over introducing strict laws to curb the unending menace of street crimes in Karachi, media reported on Monday.

The Sindh police and other provincial institutions failed to curb street crimes despite making tall claims and exercising different strategies. The higher authorities decided to find a concrete solution to uproot the menace.

Sindh Inspector General (IG) Police Ghulam Nabi Memon and Advisor to Chief Minister for Law Murtaza Wahab held consultations on the rising street crime incidents in the metropolis. They mulled over new legislation against street criminals.

Sources said that a draft bill is under consideration by the provincial authorities for legislating interrogative custody and blocking the immediate bail of street crime suspects.

In the meeting, Murtaza Wahab and Ghulam Nabi Memon also deliberated on different laws formulated by the reforms committee.
