KARACHI: A quarrel among children led to a murder in Sohrab Goth on Wednesday, police said.

They added that Mohammad Shafiq, 35, was gunned down by his neighbours after some arguments at Jamali Goth.

The police said that around one week back a scuffle broke out between the neighbours over fighting of children. Both parties also fought on Wednesday, leading to the murder of the man.

The victim originally hailed from Rahim Yar Khan. Relatives told the police that they would get an FIR registered after his burial at their native place.
