Rescue officials said that they received a call at around 1:25 pm, just as people gathered for Friday prayers, that a man had been stabbed on the New Amarpura Road near Mubarak Masjid within the remits of the Waris Khan police station.
When officials of the Rescue 1122 reached the scene around five minutes later, they saw that the man was grievously injured but still alive.
As rescue officials moved to evacuate the injured man, later identified as 27-year-old Sabir Ali, his opponents stopped rescue workers and resorted to aerial firing.
The unidentified armed men, though, workers to eventually fled, allowing rescue workers to move in and shift Ali to the Benazir Bhutto Hospital.
However, doctors there pronounced him as dead.
Ali’s body was later shifted to the District Headquarters Hospital mortuary for further legal processes.
