If all the black along the bottom is scraping I don’t see how they could’ve gotten airborne again, I’d guess that would’ve scraped the tail as well. Looks
like scraping just below the fan, if those are CFM56 the accessory gearbox and oil pump are on the bottom I believe, so all the black could be engine oil leaking from the damage?

The preliminary radar data, which could be inaccurate, has them 2000ft+ above the G/S at the FAF on the first approach, descending at up to 4000fpm. The speed data seems to indicate they didn't start configuring till below 1000ft AGL.

So the current story circulating various chat groups is they had an unstable approach, landed long, bounced it, bounced it again, decided to go around and prematurely sucked up the landing gear, but not before bouncing it a third time, dragging both engines along the way.

Everything at this point is pure speculation but this particular chain of events would explain a lot...

On May 23rd 2020 Karachi Airport reported based on CAA inspection report that the runway inspection revealed scrape marks of the left engine start 4500 feet down the runway, the right engine scrape marks begin 5500 feet down the runway. About 6000-7000 feet past the runway threshold the scrape marks end.

Where’s the accessory case on the CFM. If on the bottom, damaged fuel controller, IDG (that’d explain the RAT), hydraulics.

Don't think you can ‘bounce‘ with gear up

You can bounce once or twice and then raise the gear too soon as the previous posts and many other reports seem to be indicating.

Be interesting to see the speed they were going. That must have been about a 6 degree approach.
