In a violent incident in Karachi’s Korangi area, a property dealer, Noor Muhammad Farooqi, was fatally shot by armed assailants on Monday in Zaman Town. Witnesses said Farooqi was riding between the suspects on their motorcycle when he was ordered to run before being shot. Despite being wounded, he attempted to escape but was shot again in an alley before the attackers fled the scene.
Police recovered four 9mm shell casings and have launched a manhunt for the suspects. Early investigations indicate the killing was the result of a personal grudge.
In a separate event nearby, a citizen shot dead a bandit who was fleeing after allegedly looting people on Shaheed-e-Millat Road. The 26-year-old suspect was killed while two accomplices escaped.
