The fatal shooting of a woman inside an ATM booth in Karachi’s Paposh Nagar area has been captured on CCTV cameras, a private media outlet reported.
According to investigators, the suspect, a security guard, allegedly lured the woman to the ATM on the pretext of handing her money. The footage shows the woman walking towards the booth, where the suspect was already present.
Police said the guard had asked her to meet him there, claiming he would give her cash. As soon as she entered the ATM enclosure, he allegedly opened fire, injuring her.
Despite being wounded, the woman tried to run for her life. However, the suspect fired two additional shots at her from behind, investigators said.
The guard was later arrested. In his preliminary statement to police, he claimed that he had been in a relationship with the woman and alleged that she was blackmailing him over a video. He also told investigators that she had previously borrowed Rs50,000 from him and was demanding more money.
After the shooting, the injured woman was rushed to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital and later shifted to Civil Hospital Karachi, where she succumbed to her injuries during treatment.
