A father of three was shot dead when he came to the rescue of a mugging victim in Sector 9/E of Orangi Town on Tuesday.
Police said armed men riding on a motorcycle were looting 60-year-old Waheed and beat him up when he resisted. When the citizen raised a hue and cry for help, a 38-year-old labourer, Rashid, came out of his nearby factory. Seeing this, the suspects opened fire at him, injuring him critically. They also injured Waheed by hitting him with a pistol.
A large number of residents gathered on the spot and transported the casualties to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, where Rashid succumbed to his injuries. He was father of three children. Following the incident, a large number of residents and shopkeepers started protesting and also set tyres on a road, causing a traffic jam.
