Unknown gunmen killed four people in different incidents of the target killing in Karachi on Wednesday, bringing to 33 the number of people killed in the city in the past 24 hours.
“It is right now difficult to name any groups over involvement in the killings but I can say one thing — this is a conspiracy to destabilise Karachi,” city police chief Fayyaz Leghari told AFP.
“Police have arrested several suspects and they are being interrogated,” Leghari said without disclosing any numbers.
Moreover, a curfew may be imposed in certain neighbourhoods of Karachi, television reports quoted sources as saying.
Search operations are reportedly going to be launched in the city's sensitive areas, reports said.
Commercial centres shut down in the wake of the violence that intensified on Tuesday claiming at least 29 lives.
Police and the paramilitary troops patrolled troubled parts of the city, which were deserted with public transport on strike, an AFP reporter said.
