Pakistan: Karachi mall opening turns chaotic, unruly mob damage, loot goods
The opening of the Dream Bazaar Mall in Pakistan's Karachi city recently turned into a nightmare with an unruly mob rushing inside the commercial building, vandalising it and even looting goods with police remaining absent from the scene.
According to reports, hype was created in the city with the owners announcing mega discounts for buyers on the opening day.
Thousands of people gathered around the mall with the expectation of grabbing the deals as soon as the doors were opened on September 1.
Several videos of the mall and the chaotic scene went viral on the internet with security failing to control the mob.
In some videos, people were seen recording their videos where they could be seen looting goods from the store.
Eyewitnesses told ARY News that the unruly crowd caused significant damage to the property, disrupting the event, while, despite the commotion, police were notably absent from the scene.
