Chinese nationals in Karachi withdraw harassment complaint after province pledges to investigate Six Chinese nationals who run businesses in Pakistan's southern port city of Karachi have withdrawn a harassment complaint against police after provincial authorities said they would investigate the claims, a defense lawyer said on Monday.
The provincial government in Pakistan's southern Sindh province said it was investigating the complaint, but added that any grievance should have been made to the government through the Chinese embassy instead of petitioning a court.
The men had approached a court in Karachi saying they had invested a significant amount of money in Pakistan's largest city but their movement was being restricted by police on the pretext of security and it had affected their business.
Local authorities increased security following the deaths of two Chinese nationals in a bomb attack last year.
Following the attack, China has called on Pakistan to protect Chinese workers due to a resurgence in militant violence.
