Police found the car, a Black Toyota Corolla, GR 002, parked outside a bungalow on Khayaban-e-Tanzeem, with the DCO still inside, but riddled with bullets.
SP Clifton, Tariq Dharejo said that the victim had probably been shot while inside the car along with his attackers. He believed that the murder could possibly be the result of personal enmity.
Police added that the car had been possibly moved away from the house where it was initially parked before police found it.
Dasti was visiting Karachi on official business.
A heavy contingent of police has reached the spot and is investigating the matter. Two gatekeepers in the immediate vicinity of the incident have been taken by police for questioning.
DIG South Shoukat Commander, while talking to the media, said that Dasti had called on Mir Ibrahim Bizenjo, at his house. According to the DIG, Dasti and Bizenjo had a falling out, after which the latter allegedly shot the DCO in the head.
Bizenjo's house staff tried to wash off the evidence, Shoukat said, but police managed to reach in time to recover the bullet casing and some spots of Dasti's blood on Bizenjo's front porch.
Bizenjo was not at his residence when the police reached.
The case follows the target killing of the wife and daughter of MPA Mir Bakhtiar Domki in Karachi last month.

Khayaban-e-Tanzeem, how pretentious. Streets in Pakistan should be called Tanzeem Chowk or Tanzeem Sarak and if all else fails to stick we can always resort to the old word Colony. But Khayaban is a little too alien for Pakistan. I don't know as an Afghan who speaks both Pashto and Farsi/Persian this nomenclature just does not fit in Pakistan.
It should be a matter of serious concern and consideration for the karachi police to immediately arrest the culprits involve in the killing of such a high profile person like Dco Gwadar, otherwise the people keep on questing about the credibility of city police. If the peolice can not keep an eye on the suspects of terrorism then what is the use of having such a large force. Is it not wasting of public exchequer?
He is Deputy commissioner of Gwadar not District Coordination Officer balochistan abolished the 2001 LGO.
We actually have a DIG named Commander? No wonder then that law and order situation has deteriorated to such an extent.
@no to sensationalism a lot of important people from balochistan seem to be dying due to "personal enemies" conveniently these days. save our police from a lot of hassel. Dont they?
Sadly, a common occurrence among Baloch feudals. We still remember how many Balochs Akbar Bugti killed.
"the case follows the target killing of the wife and daughter of MPA Mir Bakhtiar Domki in Karachi last month."
tribune, stop sensationalising.
geo is reporting that the murder has mnothing to do with baloch nationalists
both the servant and the driver have been caught.
pls stop instigating -
This is what is happening in the 'POSH LOCALITY' of Karachi and people of Karachi are proud to live in such posh localities.
Police is investigating as how did the deceased reached there and who actually killed him?
Terrible news!
Law and order really needs to improve.
Karachi desperately needs CCTV to prevent such murders and the bahta mafia from doing extortion.
