Pakistan: Over 200 Inmates Escape Karachi’s Malir Jail As Chaos Breaks Out After Earthquake | N18G

A total of 216 prisoners escaped from Karachi’s District Jail Malir on Monday. Police and jail officials reported that the escape occurred amidst chaos, which was allegedly triggered by a series of tremors in the city. Many of the prisoners, who were already outside their barracks, seized the opportunity in the confusion, overpowering the jail staff and leading to a violent standoff. Heavy gunfire was heard both inside and outside the prison, causing panic in nearby residential areas. Several roads, including the National Highway, were temporarily closed as the police sealed off the area. In an attempt to regain control, prison authorities opened fire. At least five security personnel were injured during the clash, while one prisoner was killed and three others were wounded. As of Tuesday, 80 of the escaped inmates had been recaptured during search operations.
