KARACHI: The station house officer of Preedy police precinct was fatally shot by unidentified men in Saddar on Tuesday evening.
SHO Agha Asad had left his house on Tuesday evening to tend to a personal matter. Travelling in his car, he was ambushed by unidentified armed men riding on motorcycles near the Bohri Bazar. They shot at him multiple times before fleeing, leaving Asad for dead.
Critically injured, rescue teams rushed the officer to the Civil Hospital. As doctors tended to his wounds, he passed away.
Deputy superintendent (DSP) Zamir Abbasi termed his death a “serious loss” to the department.
Soon after the attack, police cordoned off the crime scene and deployed pickets across the town in search of the culprits, said DSP Abbasi.
Despite losing one of their own, the police has yet to ascertain a motive behind the killing.

There is a pattern in these attacks. This is designed by the illuminati and their Semitic friends to set muslim against muslim
@Jibran: Sad but true that in many 3 rd World Countries there is little concept of CPR - so why don't you work to change things by taking a CPR course and helping educate people about first aid. Another sad but true commentary is that 3rd World people like to complain but take little initiative to change things. I just hope they bring the criminals who did this to justice.
Another operation cleanup is needed, military style courts. Simple as that. I dont care if some bleeding heart liberal fascist thinks the opposite. The situation in Karachi is OUT OF CONTROL.
In Pakistan, there is no concept of CPR. Once shot, people just bleed to death. Sad... but true!
Seems like a Shia name.
