Petrol pump employee shot dead

A petrol pump employee was shot dead by some robbers over resistance.

Khizar Hayat, a resident of Chak No. 272 GB, informed the police that his 50-year-old brother, Haq Nawaz, was a salesperson at a petrol station.

Two persons riding on a motorbike parked their vehicle outside the door and pulled out a gun as soon as they entered the room intending to commit the crime.

Haq Nawaz had been seated in the room. Khizar Hayat said that when his brother Haq Nawaz resisted, the bandits shot him four times, hitting him in the stomach and neck, leaving him seriously wounded.

He was taken to the hospital where he died. City Police Officer Syed Khalid Mahmood Hamdani, SP of Jarnanwala, Ahmed Arsalan, and other police officers reached the spot as soon as the news was received. They formed teams under the leadership of the SP of Jarnanwala to arrest the bandits after inspecting the scene.

The police filed a complaint under Sections 302 and 393 of the PPC after handing over the body to his heirs.
