KARACHI, Aug 9: A man was found shot dead at his house in Buffer Zone on Saturday.

Police said the body of Faisal Abrar, with a bullet mark on his head, was found at his house in sector 15-A/1 of Buffer Zone in Sir Syed Town police limits. Police also found a pistol beside his body, which indicated that he might have committed suicide.

However, the police said that it could be a murder, as at the very initial stage it was premature to declare it a suicide case. Police have been questioning his relatives, while they would also interrogate his friends and acquaintances to ascertain the causes that led to his unnatural death.

After conducting post-mortem examination at Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, the body was handed over to his family for burial.

ACCIDENT: A motorcyclist was knocked down to death in Al-Noor Society on Friday night.

Police said Anwar Ali, 35, a labourer and father of three children, was hit by a trailer (JLT-4215) resulting in his sudden death. Police impounded the trailer and arrested its driver Mohammad Hussain. The body was shifted to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for autopsy.

WOUNDED: An alleged bandit was shot and wounded in an encounter with police in Soldier Bazaar.

Police said two bandits entered into a shop in Garden West, off Nishter Road. As the police reached the spot, the bandits tried to flee while firing at the policemen. The police returned the fire and wounded one of the bandits. However, his accomplice managed to escape. The wounded suspect was taken to Civil Hospital, where his condition is stated to be serious.

ROBBERIES: Four cases of robberies were reported in different parts of the city on Saturday.

Armed men stormed into the house of Mujahid Khan in Shah Latif Town and held the family as hostage at gunpoint. They collected cash, jewellery and valuables and fled away with the loot.

Bandits intercepted Ms Naz Gul in Mominabad police limits in Orangi Town, and deprived her of her cash and belongings at gunpoint.
