Slain citizen’s children share pain on social media

CCTV footage of muggers shooting 35-year-old Muhammad Hussain in Korangi had gone viral on social media

KARACHI:

Children of a man killed by robbers last month have posted a heart wrenching video on the social media sharing the pain they are going through.

"People are enjoying Ramazan with all the fanfare of Sehri and Iftari, many are going for Eid shopping. We also used to be like this until robbers snatched our father's life," they said. The CCTV footage of muggers shooting 35-year-old Muhammad Hussain in Korangi on March 22 had gone viral on the social media platforms.

The suspects after snatching cash and cell phone from Hussain shot him dead even though he had put up no resistance.

Hussain's son and three daughters tried to shake the conscience of the law enforcers and society as a whole. The orphans questioned why their father was killed and who was responsible for his brutal murder? They also asked society who would take their responsibility now that their father has been taken away from them?

They said that the people around them were observing Ramazan and preparing for Eid, but they only mourn their father's death who used to fulfill their needs.
