Youth gunned down in Lyari, motive unknown

KARACHI: A young man was gunned down in a Lyari locality on Saturday, police said.

They said that 27-year-old Imran Anwar was a resident of Memon Society in Lyari and targeted on Shah Waliullah Road.

“He was passing through that area when two men on a motorbike intercepted him,” said an official at the Kalri police station.

“They fired at him twice before escaping from the scene. He sustained a single bullet wound in the head and died on the spot.”

Although the police remained clueless about the motive and the culprits behind the murder, they said that the victim was close to some people active in the Lyari Peace Committee.

“His killing is maybe connected with his association [with the members of the committee] but one cannot say anything with certitude at this initial stage of investigation,” added the official.
