KARACHI: A citizen was shot dead during a robbery attempt in the Northern Bypass area of Gulshan-e-Maymar, according to police. The incident occurred in Peer Bakhsh Samoo Goth, where armed suspects stormed a residence and opened fire.
The FIR, lodged at Gulshan-e-Maymar Police Station by the victim’s cousin Usama, states that 15–16 unidentified armed men entered their timber warehouse and forcibly woke up four family members who were asleep. The suspects snatched cash and mobile phones before demanding that the main gate and dera (guest area) be opened.
As 58-year-old Noor Bahadur, son of Hayat Khan, opened the dera gate, one of the suspects allegedly fired at him, striking him in the head. The assailants then locked the dera from outside and fled on foot.
Family members shifted the critically injured Noor Bahadur to a private hospital and later to Civil Hospital Karachi, where he succumbed to his injuries during treatment.
Police have included charges of murder and robbery in the case, and an investigation has been initiated. The complainant has urged authorities to arrest the perpetrators and ensure strict legal action.
