In Karachi's Sohrab Goth area, a 48-year-old trader named Imran Gogan was shot dead on Tuesday, according to Sohrab Goth Station House Officer Gul Baig. Gogan was en route to New Karachi from Ayub Goth when assailants on a motorcycle opened fire, fatally wounding him with a single bullet to the neck. The police dismissed robbery as the motive, believing it to be a targeted killing.
A media card found in Gogan's pocket indicated he was a producer for an Urdu TV channel, though the officer suspected it to be fake. Gogan's body was taken to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for legal procedures. Human rights activist Sarim Burney, who knew Gogan as a friend and industrialist, confirmed that the victim owned a color manufacturing factory and left behind two wives and four children, including two homes in PIB Colony and Bahadurabad.
