Police officials said that the incident took place when Noor Muhammad Meo was opening his grocery store in Sector 4-E, Saeedabad.
SP Shahjahan Khan told The Express Tribune that at least three armed men came on a motorcycle and demanded cash from Meo.
He said that Meo offered resistance and was shot once in the leg by the fleeing robbers.
The victim was taken to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital where doctors termed his condition to be out of danger.
SP Khan said that though Meo was clearly shot for resisting the robbery bid but further investigation is underway. No case has been registered as yet.
