KARACHI: Man stabbed to death

Published December 11, 2005

KARACHI, Dec 10: A man stabbed his bedridden uncle to death in a house in Pak Colony police limits on Saturday. An old man, identified as Nawa Jan, resident of Hasrat Mohani Colony, had suffered a paralysis attack some six years back on his lower part of the body and was unable to walk since then, his son, Yazar Khan, said.

He said that he heard the shrieks of his father when he was at a short distance from his home. “I rushed (home) and saw my cousin Abdul Waheed fleeing. When I entered the home, my father was lying in a pool of blood,” he added.

Yazar took his father to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital where doctors pronounced him dead on arrival. The body was later handed over to Yazar for burial.

Yazar got an FIR registered with the area police stating that he suspected Abdul Waheed for allegedly killing Nawa Jan. Police believed a family feud was the reason behind the murder.

INJURED: Faheem, 23, a resident of Shoe Market, sustained bullet wounds when he resisted robbers near his residence in Garden police limits. The injured was taken to Civil Hospital. His condition was stated to be serious.

Irfan Sharafat, 25, a resident of Naseerabad locality of Federal B Area, received a bullet wound when he resisted bandits near Dak Khana Liaquatabad. However, robbers made off with cash and a mobile phone. The injured was taken to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital.

Zeshan, 23, received bullet wounds when three armed bandits shot at him in New Karachi Industrial Area police on resistance.
