A constable of Sindh police was shot dead under mysterious circumstances in Osmania Society of Sohrab Goth.
The victim identified as 40-year-old Muhammad Qasim was recently deputed as a gunman of PSP officer Mir Zubair.
Qasim had come to Karachi two days before the incident to participate in the opening of his brother Muhammad Azam’s milk shop in Lassi Goth. On the night of the incident, Qasim, Azam, and another man named Zorawar had dinner together in the shop. After the dinner, Qasim and Zorawar left for their homes, while Azam stayed back to sleep in the shop.
Azam was later informed that someone had shot his brother, initially believing it was a robbery. When he reached his house, he found Qasim lying in a pool of blood in the drawing room.
