Members of Lyari’s infamous gangs took advantage of the opportunity to get away from their positions of power in the Old metropolis quarters and roam in other neighborhoods of the metropolitan area during the month of Ramadan while authorities focused on other areas.

This might be the cause of the notable rise in blackmail cases involving Lyari thieves. A Lyari gang was reportedly demanding money from New Karachi businesses on 4th of March.

At the New Karachi police station, a candy store owner in “Sector 11-D” filed a case on behalf of neighborhood market vendors under many headings, such as threats to kill and blackmail.
