Claim: The image showing the exterior of Dream Bazaar mall looted in Karachi, Pakistan.
Fact-check: An AI-generated image is misleadingly shared in connection with the Dream Bazaar Mall looting in Karachi - FACTLY
Verdict: the image being circulated is ai-generated and is not from the karchi incident. on 30 august 2024, dream bazaar mall in gulistan-e-johar, karachi, attracted a large crowd with significant opening day discounts. when the mall staff closed the shop doors due to the crowd size, frustration ensued, leading to the forceful breaking of doors by some individuals. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
