An inspector of Sindh Police Highway Patrol (SPHP) was among three individuals arrested after an alleged shooting incident in Hyderabad's Paretabad, resulting in injuries to three people. Irshad Fakhruddin, the inspector, was reported to be in critical condition. The other two injured individuals were identified as Afaq Ishaq and Kamran Babu, who were passing by at the time of the incident.
The incident occurred when the inspector allegedly opened fire following a dispute, which began when the inspector kicked over a parked motorcycle. His family members, including Irshad's brother Mohammad Waqas, lodged a First Information Report (FIR) at Pinyari police station, alleging the inspector used abusive language and hit Irshad's sister-in-law in the stomach.
Two gunmen of the inspector were also detained in connection with the FIR, which invoked sections related to intentional murder, assault, and terrorism under the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) and Anti-Terrorism Act 1997. Irshad Fakhruddin underwent surgery for injuries to his intestine and oesophagus, and is currently in a critical condition on a ventilator.
