By Our Staff Reporter
KARACHI, Feb 14: Bandits robbed and killed an expatriate in Korangi soon after he arrived in the city from Austria on Friday morning.
The police said an unidentified man was found murdered with two bullet wounds in the head and chest in Korangi’s sector 50-D. A boarding card was recovered from him which gave his identity as Razzak, and it seemed that he boarded a plane in Istanbul.
However, further investigations carried out by ASI Nizam, who retrieved the passenger data from PIA, showed that Abdul Razzak, aged 45, was a resident of Sialkot and he had arrived at Karachi on Friday morning.
According to the data, Abdul Razzak took a connecting flight for Karachi from Istanbul.
The police contacted his family who said Razzak had been working in Austria for the past 12 years. After they received the news of his death, his family members left Sialkot for Karachi to collect the body.
The police said they interrogated around 30 taxi drivers who were present at the airport since 4:30am, but none of them recognized Abdul Razzak. After post-mortem, the body has been kept in the Edhi’s morgue.
SUICIDE: A police official shot himself under the influence of liquor in Federal B Area late Tuesday night.
The police said a wireless operator of the city police, Safdar, aged 35, shot himself in the head with a licensed pistol in Joharabad where he lived.
The Joharabad police said wireless operator Safdar, posted at Garden police headquarters, died while cleaning his pistol.
Hospital sources, however, said the bullet had pierced through his head which was unlikely if the policeman was cleaning his gun.
