And also tell that this particular incident was against India or not?
Doest it really matter which team was playing Pakistan ? But If it gives you any consolation, this match was not against India, but this happened in natwest series between Aus,Eng & Pakistan. England had to concede a match, Bevan got injured in another match. India played a match at Karachi in 1997, here is the detailed report by Dawn after Pakistan lost the match :-
(Sachin had to take his team out of the ground for safety reasons).

Rs 1.2m loss recorded from one enclosure
By Our Sports Reporter
KARACHI, Oct 1: The venue of the second one-day international
between Pakistan and India,
the National Stadium, suffered heavy
loss when several valuable items were destroyed by the
spectators on Tuesday. ÊÊ[Lycos] Sources said the destruction
was done immediately after Pakistan lost the second game by four
wickets with three balls to spare. [XIBERCOM]
A survey by the
cricket board authorities found that maximum damage was done to
Citizen I where out of the fixed 2,113 seats, the spectators
broke 1,613 chairs (77.33 percent seats broken). With each chair
costing Rs 800, a loss of Rs 1.2 million was recorded only from
that enclosure.
Some hospitality boxes were also visited by the officials and it
was found that a huge glass costing Rs 15,000 in box No 4 was
broken. That box had been allocated for some senior police
officials by the Deputy Commissioner.
Similarly, from box No 15 owned by Habib Bank, a television set
was missing. Authorities said that the bank was not responsible
because they had delivered the keys to them with everything in
working order, including the missing television.
Meanwhile, a record sale of Rs 3.7 million was recorded from the
gate. The previous record was Rs 2.8 million that was recorded
in the 1990-91 one-dayer between the West Indies and Pakistan.
The financial loss is expected to be doubled when the officials
visit the remaining enclosures on Thursday.
