KARACHI: A man was killed and Rs1 million stolen from him by robbers in Kharadar, Karachi on Wednesday, officials revealed. Docks SHO Waqar Kaiser informed that Moin Akhter, a 40-year-old, had stepped out of his office near West Wharf to withdraw cash from a private bank. His teenage son accompanied him. Together, they withdrew Rs1 million and were returning to the office when two armed robbers on a motorcycle intercepted them and took the money.
Moin resisted, prompting the robbers to shoot him and escape with the loot. He was rushed to Dr Ruth Pfau Civil Hospital Karachi, where he was declared dead due to a critical gunshot wound.
Sindh Home Minister Sindh Ziaul Hasan Lanjar took notice of the incident and demanded clarification from the DIG-South. The story unfolds a second incident in which a 30-year-old man named Naseebullah was murdered near Gulshan-i-Hadeed. While the Bin Qasim police claimed the motive remains unclear, the victim's brother, Abdul Manan, disclosed to the media outside Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre that it was a robbery-related incident.
The assailant was a lone individual who broke into their home; Naseebullah tried to defend himself but was shot and killed before the robber fled. Naseebullah was a truck driver and father of two children, originally from Mohmand Agency.
