In Karachi, Pakistan, street crime took a deadly turn on Tuesday when robbers gunned down a 25-year-old man right outside his home. Sajjad Shaukat was standing with his two young children, chatting on his cell phone, when two muggers pulled up on a motorcycle. They demanded his phone, but Sajjad fought back. The robbers responded by shooting him and speeding away.
He suffered severe gunshot wounds and rushed to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, where doctors couldn’t save him. Police reviewed CCTV footage that captured the whole terrifying moment. In response to rising Karachi robbery shootings, West Zone Deputy Inspector General Irfan Ali Baloch suspended the local station house officer for not controlling the crime wave in his area.
Just a day earlier, on September 30, another shocking incident unfolded in Karachi’s Bhains Colony neighborhood. A police officer named Qaiser, stationed at Saudabad Police Station in District Korangi, became the victim. An unknown assailant shot him dead near 10th Street Road while he resisted a robbery attempt.
Eyewitnesses told police that the attacker fled the scene armed with a 30-bore pistol. Qaiser was taken to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, where he was pronounced dead. After a postmortem, authorities handed his body to his family. Police have filed an FIR and launched an investigation into this latest Pakistan police killing, as concerns grow over escalating street violence in the city.
