ISF member Dilawar Ali Awan was shot in the chest thrice by unknown armed men at the Zamzama Street.
KARACHI: A member of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s student wing Insaf Students’ Federation (ISF) was shot dead in Karachi on Sunday.
ISF member Dilawar Ali Awan was shot in the chest thrice by unknown armed men on Zamzama Street within the Clifton police area.
ISF Sindh President Alamgir Khan confirmed that Awan was an ISF member and said that his party has announced a day of mourning for his death.
However, the police stated that the victim was not affiliated with any political party or student organisation and was killed in a personal brawl.
“He was neither a member of any party nor he was killed in a targeted assassination,” SHO Asif Ali Jakharani told The Express Tribune.
“Before claiming his affiliation with the party, the PTI or ISF should have at least confirmed the nature of the incident,” Jakharani said. “I don’t think any party will claim someone who is killed over a call girl as its member.”

@Muhamamd Imran:
In that case, PTI must sue the SHO Asif Ali Jakharani, who is claiming that the Gen.Sec of DHA ISF was killed over a call girl! If it is true, is it the kind of leadership that would make Pakistan an Islamic Welfare State?
Recommend
How shameful and disgraceful of the SHO Jakharni to say that he got killed over a call girl, clearly a sign of dirty politics. Whatever the issue maybe, the fact is that he is supposed to provide security to people of Karachi, and he failed miserably.
May Allah bless this kid’s soul. PTI zindabad !!

Previously, PTI had been terming all the killings as the result of the clashes among different political parties and, in its support, it had also been quoting the statements issued from the Police. But, now what a change we are seeing in its stand???

So he was shot because of a dispute over money with a call girl and he was a PTI Student leader!! WOW, Imran is training his “Tigers” very well!

Have to say this story smacks of bias.

RIP….for those who are taking this opportunity to take cheap shots at PTI…I don’t think this news warrants such a heartless response. We may all disagree with anyone’s political position, but loss of a human life is a matter of tragedy that all should agree upon.

So the root cause from the recent statement of Imran Khan seems to be that the poor guy was pushing for aggressive PTI membership campaign in his area. Of course, to the powers that be, that came across as a threat to their constituency.

PTI is running Prostitution and Call Girl Activities in Karachi and Pakistan. It is a moment of Shame for PTI. Wake up Pakistan How PTI Will bring Pakistan To Its Deserved Place When PTI is Involved in Such Activites.

In contrast to the Police statement, if the PTI`s worker was not killed in a personal brawl, then PTI will be in a position to understand how the Police has been misguiding the general public over the “target killings” in Karachi. When the people and the agencies who prime responsibility is to maintain law & order are themselves distorting the facts, then how can they be sincere in bringing peace here? So, now PTI leadership will have been aware of the reality of the persistent “target killings” in the city.
Recommend
I want to ask a question to All Pakistanis A Worker of PTI is killed and Media Just Raise this issue Like The sky is fallen on ground What About More Than 17000 workers and Supporters of MQM killed till Today. Are They not Humans? Are They not Pakistanis? Who will Stop Mahajir Genocide In Pakistan? I questions to World?Recommend

Regardless of the fact weather he was a member of isf or not what business does the sho has making political statements

Threats, abduction, torture, killings can’t stop the tsunami of change infact its a failed tactic to threaten ISF tigers. No matter how SHO Jakhrani manipulate the incident by co-relating a loss of life to alleged involvement in unliked activity. I would like to remind him article 09 of the constitution of islamic republic of Pakistan that Says: NO 1 SHALL BE DEPRIVED OF LIFE OR LIBERTY SAVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH LAW. But hatts off to his efficiency within hours he concluded the matter and declare the victim characterless, solved the issue.. all what he needs to close the file.
If blood is all it needs to bring a revolution of change for the betterment of Pakistan, then every ISF tiger is ready to shed blood for Pakistan. ISF has power of Ink and blood. we don’t need guns and goons. Salute to all brave tigers who surely are not going to back down or step back in this crucial time.
PAKISTAN ZINDABAAD.

If you are not a doctor you just can’t say that you are proud to be a doctor!
