On Friday, rescue workers recovered the body of a three-year-old boy, Shahid Razzaq, from the Lyari river in Karachi. The child had drowned near Sohrab Goth on Wednesday evening while watching animals pass by on the riverbank. According to an Edhi Foundation spokesperson, strong water currents carried the body away from the drowning site.
Edhi volunteers conducted a search and found the boy's body floating near Gulbahar. Meanwhile, two individuals died in a hit-and-run accident on the Superhighway, where an unidentified vehicle struck their motorcycle as they traveled towards Hyderabad. Both victims, Abbas Mumtaz, 16, and an unidentified man in his 30s, succumbed to their injuries at Abbasi Shaheed Hospital.
Additionally, a 65-year-old motorcyclist, Qasim Khan, was killed when his bike was hit by an unidentified vehicle near Sunday Bazaar in Ayub Goth, New Karachi. His body was subsequently transferred to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital.
