A protest was staged on Sunday at Karachi Fish Harbour in Pakistan over the murder of a cart vendor, media reports said.
Relatives of deceased Saddam Hussain held protest after funeral prayers, who was stabbed to death at the harbour, reported Ary News.
Protesters said criminals allegedly extorted protection money in the fish market.
They said labourers who refused to give the money were subjected to violence.
“The criminals have patronage of police and the fish market administration,” they told Ary News.
A strike observed at fish harbour against murder as normal business activities remained suspended and angry protesters pushed out fish cutting persons from the market, the news channel reported.
Local administration called police to maintain law and order situation.
“Murder accused Ali Raza has been arrested, a case has been registered and further investigation of the incident has been underway,” police officials told Ary News.
