A water oil tanker crashed with a motorcycle on Saturday night killing two from one family and hurting another shopping center near Lucky One in Karachi. The incident caused outrage with a mafia that lit seven vehicles, which caused the Dumper truck association to close Super Highway and block the Sohrab Goth goth routes to Thatta.
According to rescue officials, the 22 -year -old Mahnoor brothers, and Ahmed Raza, 14, were seriously injured in the accident near the Federal B and succumbed to their wounds during treatment while their father, Shakir, son of Salahuddin, is receiving treatment for his injuries.
Police said the oil driver, identified as Fordous Khan, was caught by an angry and beaten crowd before being arrested in injured condition.
The enraged mafia threw stationary stationary trucks with stones, burning seven of them. Four of the damaged trucks were near Gulan Chowrangi on the Sohrab Goth and three route were on the opposite road.
The law personnel and the Sindh rangers were deployed to restore the order, while the teams of the Fire Brigade extinguished the fires. Police said 10 suspects have been arrested in relation to violence, and more arrests based on CCTV and video evidence are expected.

The leader of the Dumper Truck Association, Liaquat Mehsud, said his protest was in response to the torch of Dumper’s trucks in the mafia. He criticized the Sindh government for imposing restrictions on the Dumper truck movement from morning to 10 pm and said it was harmful to the industry.
He said that the authorities were now competing for a complete prohibition of Dumper truck operations and confirmed that all operating points have been closed in protest.
The authorities warned that if the blockade continues, the city’s traffic system could face severe interruption since tensions remain high.
A total of 546 people have lost their lives and 8,136 suffered serious injuries in traffic accidents in the city during the current year. Heavy vehicles were responsible for 165 of fatal accidents involving trailers.
An important factor that contributes to the large number of deaths is the reckless driving of heavy vehicles.
