If he had been caught instead of being lynched, his accomplice who fled could have been traced much easily. Lynching is no way to seek justice. The culprits should be punished.

Justice has been served, unless and until these animals gets the treatment they are not going to learn. Sorry for the victim as he did not deserve to die by these animals. Another sad day in karachi

When State fails to provide protection, this is what becomes of the law, it's up for grabs for anybody who deems it fit to serve justice!!

When police are the partners of robbers and criminals the people have only choice left with them to act according to their will.

The Police and robbers are hand in glove with each other. The booty is shared between them. Therefore people have no faith and forced to take action on their own.

@ahmed - Right. in a civilised society such incidents (mob lynching) is not liked. But a few incidents, like this, will deter such crimes of robbery.

No one should take another person's life. Leave it for the justice system. Otherwise there is no difference between humans and animals..
