ACCIDENT: A grocer came under the wheels of a minibus while he was asleep close to the vehicle near New Sabzi Mandi on Wednesday.
The parked minibus (PE-2954), police said, was started by its conductor who, after cleaning it up, applied reverse gear and tried to back it without realizing that someone was asleep close to one of the wheels. Body of the unidentified victim was, later, shifted to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for postmortem examination, police added.
The conductor has been arrested.

Abdul Qayoom, 35, owner of a makeshift eating house, was carrying Rs8,000 in his pocket. He was intercepted by two armed men near Vita Chowrangi but he raised hue and cry and offered resistance. The armed men shot at him and escaped without robbing him. He suffered a bullet wound.
A police mobile of the Korangi police station arrived at the scene, apparently to his rescue, and took him to a hospital. On the way, the police took out money from his pocket and left the victim at the Jinnah Post-graduate Medical Centre, hospital sources quoting the Abdul Qayoom said.
