National College Karachi Students clash IJT & PSF traded gunshots following a verbal exchange
Karachi, Jan 30: Six students were arrested by police on Thursday following a violent clash at the National College. Firearms were used by both sides during the fight.
The two groups, the Islami Jamiat Tulaba (IJT) and Pakhtoon Students Federation (PSF), traded gunshots following a verbal exchange at the college, police said. The clash coincided with admissions to the degree classes at the college.
New Town ASP Dr Khurram Rashid said that the students also fired upon the police party which arrived at the scene.
The police had picked up eight students, but two of them were later released after questioning. Four students belonged to the PSF, while two were part of the IJT. Police have lodged an FIR 30/2009 under Sections 147, 148, 149, 324, 337-A and 353 of the Pakistan Penal Code.
An FIR had already been lodged in May 2008 at the New Town police station regarding almost the exact charges against four PSF students who were arrested on Thursday, the New Town ASP added. Dawn
