A young internet provider was gunned down and another was critically wounded after a security guard of a filling station in Sharafi Goth opened fire on them following an exchange of heated words on Saturday.
A Sharafi Goth police official said the incident took place at a CNG station in the Singer Chowrangi area, adding that the casualties were taken to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre. He said the deceased was identified as Asad Mehmood, 21, and the injured as Farhan Gulzar Ahmed, 38.
Police said the two internet providers were frequent visitors to the filling station, adding that they had asked the station’s security guard for a ladder, but an argument resulted in the guard shooting at them with his 12-bore repeater.

Infuriated by Prime Minister Imran Khanâs statement that equated the demand of Quetta protesters for his visit with âblackmailing the premierâ, Shia groups and the Hazara community expanded their protest sit-ins against the Machh tragedy to more locations in Karachi, blocking multiple major roads in the city that resulted in not only massive traffic jams but also clashes between protestors and commuters.
Eleven miners of the Shia Hazara community were brutally killed before dawn on Sunday while they were asleep near a remote coal mine in the mountainous area of Machh in Balochistan. The Islamic State (IS) claimed the responsibility for the attack.
