Jo hath me aye lelo: Long awaited Dream Bazar's opening in Pakistan turns into looting frenzy | VIDEO

New Delhi: In a highly anticipated event, Dream Bazar, a massive shopping mall built by a foreign businessman in Karachi, Pakistan, opened its doors yesterday. The inauguration, meant to celebrate the new retail hub, quickly turned into chaos as the mall was looted by local residents.

The businessman, aiming to attract a large crowd, had announced special discounts exclusively for Pakistani locals during the opening day. However, what was meant to be a generous gesture quickly spiraled out of control. The offer of discounted goods led to an overwhelming influx of shoppers, far exceeding expectations. The crowd, unable to be managed by the mall's security, soon began looting the stores, leaving the newly opened mall in disarray.
