Police and criminals came face to face in areas of Gulistan-e-Johar, Maleer Nadi, Ittehad Town, Gulishan Mamar and Korangi.
The injured were admitted to different hospitals of the city.
In Korangi's Chamra Churangi the crossfire between some robbers and police left a robber and a passerby killed.
The victims were identified as citizen Mustafa and suspect Haider.
