A horrifying incident unfolded in Orangi Town’s Nishan-e-Haider area where armed men shot and killed a 25-year-old father in front of his children at the doorstep of his home.
The victim, Muhammad Sajjad, had traveled from Faisalabad to Karachi three days ago to visit his in-laws. He was the father of two young children.
According to the FIR filed by the victim’s father-in-law at Iqbal Market Police Station, the robbers attempted to snatch Sajjad’s mobile phone at gunpoint. When he resisted, one of the attackers opened fire, hitting him in the chest and killing him on the spot.
CCTV footage of the killing shows Sajjad standing at the door with his children. One child was in his arms while the other stood beside him when two men on a motorcycle arrived. The gunmen stepped off the bike, pushed Sajjad and fired at point-blank range. Sajjad collapsed instantly as one of his children ran inside in fear.
Police said the footage clearly showed the attacker’s face, and teams were working to trace and arrest the suspects.
Relatives have taken Sajjad’s body to Faisalabad for burial.
According to reports, more than 65 citizens have lost their lives in Karachi this year for resisting robberies.
