RAWALPINDI, Sept 6: A young man was shot dead and his friend injured in a robbery attempt in Sadiqabad on Thursday morning, police said.

Abdul Qadir, 24, who worked at a restaurant in Islamabad and lived in Sadiqabad, was going to a hospital along with his friend Waqar Ahmed when two motorcycle riders intercepted them and asked them to surrender cash.

When the two put up resistance, the bandits opened fire on them. The injured were taken to the Rawalpindi General Hospital where Qadir was pronounced dead.
