KARACHI: Unidentified Assailants on Friday shot dead a private engineering college’s educator near Khatoon-e-Pakistan Government Degree College for Women in Karachi.
According to details, Professor Zahir Ali, from a private engineering college affiliated with NED Engineering University, was murdered by unidentified gunmen when he was returning to his home in his vehicle.
After getting seriously wounded by the firing, Professor Zahir Ali was shifted to the hospital in critical condition. However, he succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.
He was killed when two unidentified attackers riding a motorcycle opened fire on his car. The assailants managed to flee the scene soon after the attack. Police expressed suspicions that the killers have apparently opened fire over resisting the dacoity.
Earlier in July 2019, a woman was gunned down near Karachi’s Maskan Chowrangi for resisting a robbery. The woman who had been identified as Shazia was shot by robbers for showing resistance during a robbery attempt. The bullet penetrated the car’s roof and hit the woman’s head, said police.
