The police are investigating the murder from various angles as no valuables were taken from the victim. It is still uncertain whether the man was killed in resistance to robbery or if it was a targeted killing. The deceased sustained a single fatal bullet, according to the police.
On February 7, another citizen in Karachi fell victim to street crimes as a young man was gunned down by robbers. Sohail Hashmi, the son of a retired police officer, was shot dead by robbers in Karachi’s Orangi Town. The family stated that he did not resist and gave his wallet and valuables to the robbers at gunpoint. The robbers may have seen a police inspector card in the wallet and shot Sohail Hashmi while escaping in fear of resistance.
