KARACHI: A Shiite trader and his friend were killed and one other was wounded in a suspected sectarian attack in the Gulberg area on Monday evening.
While police said the incident could be related to sectarianism, the Majlis Wahdat-i-Muslimeen said five people belonging to the Shia sect were targeted in gun attacks on Monday.
Liaquatabad SP M. Ihsan Malik said the victims, Syed Aun Naqvi, Syed Mutahir Jafferi and Saleem Hussain, were sitting at a motorcycles shop in Moosa Colony when armed motorcyclists opened fire on them and fled.
The victims were critically wounded and were taken to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital from where they were shifted to a private hospital after first provision of medical aid, the officer said.
The police said Aun Naqvi, 40, and Mutahir Jafferi died during treatment while Saleem Hussain was admitted for treatment.
The police investigators seized 16 spent bullet casings of 0.9mm pistol found at the crime scene. The SP said the exact motive behind the murder could be ascertained when statements of the victim’s family were recorded. He said the incident could be related to sectarianism.
Shia parties and leaders have condemned the targeted assassinations of two active religious Shia Muslims in Karachi. They said that some pro-takfiri judges too are equally responsible for the Shia genocide because they don’t condemn the takfiri terrorists and if takfiris are condemned to death, the pro-takfiri judges stay their hanging. They said that nation has to hold these judges accountable alongside the pro-takfiri politicians and clerics. They demanded elimination of takfiris from every nook and corner of Pakistan.
