KARACHI: A 25-year-old man was shot dead in the Manghopir police limits on Wednesday, officials said.

They added that Ibrahim Shoukat was killed near Northern Bypass in Zebu Goth.

Manghopir SHO Abdul Khaliq Ansari said that some friends were allegedly consuming drugs late on Tuesday night when a scuffle broke out between them, which led to Shoukat’s murder.

The officer denied reports that the man was killed while making a TikTok video.

He said a suspect had been taken into custody for interrogation.
