KARACHI: A prayer leader was gunned down in the New Karachi area of the city, though the murderer was immediately apprehended by those present in the area and promptly handed over to the authorities, Express News reported on Wednesday.

According to details, three men came to visit the prayer leader Ahsanullah while he was in a seminary. One of the three killed the prayer leader while his accomplices waited outside. However, as they attempted to flee, their motorbike malfunctioned.

This allowed those present in the seminary to apprehend the killer before handing him over to officers from the Bilal colony police station. His accomplices though managed to escape.

Panic gripped the area soon after the killing.

While near Numaish Chowrangi, angered relatives and traders protested against a targeted killing in the city.

Reportedly a man was killed today while he was at his workshop for routine work.

The protesters demanded that killers should be immediately arrested and the trend of target killing should be brought to an end.

Police and Rangers are present in the area to keep the situation under control.

Few unidentified men also torched a car. Fire brigade was called in to extinguish the fire.

Due to the protest, the roads leading to the chowrangi are blocked, which has badly affected the traffic flow.

We keep ignoring the overpopulation problem. The more population grows, the more things will fall out of control.

@Kaalchakra: I really do not understand how exactly are they following Islam. EVERY religion teaches pretty much the same thing. Be good and stay away from evil but we Muslims have this superiority complex that Islam is somehow better than all these other religion. Brother, do you not think that the follower of other religions feel that their religion is right? Even Israelis, the nation condemned by the Muslims, are doing better than Muslim countries. Lets not drag religion into every little thing. Islam has nothing to do with failures or successes of countries. Should we start blaming Islam for countries like Somanlia, Afghanistan, Sudan or even Pakistan? And how in heaven's name will you justify successful countries like China, Japan or Sweden. Are they secretly Muslim and pretend to be otherwise? Come on, man.
