A doctor hailing from Badin was gunned down on Sharea Faisal in Karachi on Monday night. FIR No. 63/26 has been registered against unidentified suspects under sections 302/34 at the Artillery Maidan police station on the complaint of the victim’s brother.
Complainant Sarmad Hussain said in his statement recorded in the FIR that he was in Badin when he received information about the incident and immediately reached Karachi. The victim’s wife also provided a detailed account of the incident.
According to her statement, she had come to her parents’ home in the cantonment area on Monday. Her husband Dr Sarang, 36, completed his duty at the Modern Hospital, then joined her at her parents’ residence, where they had dinner together.
Later, the couple was on their way home in a rickshaw when a white car allegedly intercepted the rickshaw near the Mehran Hotel underpass on Sharea Faisal.
The FIR states that a man wearing shalwar kameez got out of the car and forced Dr Sarang to get out of the rickshaw at gunpoint before opening fire on him. The doctor suffered three bullets and later succumbed to his wounds.
The attackers fled the scene immediately after the incident. The victim’s wife, who survived the attack, informed her brother Adeel about the incident. Police have collected the initial statements and evidence from the crime scene.
Police are conducting further investigation to trace the suspects and determine the motive behind the killing. Officials said the case is being investigated from multiple aspects, including target killing and personal enmity.
