KARACHI, July 18: A man and his two nephews lost their lives when a recklessly driven dumper-truck rammed into their motorcycle near Afghan Mor on Northern Bypass in Surjani police limits early Tuesday morning.

Mohammad Aziz, 38, a resident of Afghan Camp, along with his two nephews Wasim Akram, 8, and Shoaib Akram, 6, was on their way on a motorcycle when they were hit by a speeding dumper-truck resulting in serious injuries to them.

Area people assuming them as injured took them to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, where doctors pronounced them dead on arrival. The bodies were handed to deceased’s families subsequently.

Following this accident, people gathered at the spot, blocked the vehicular traffic for hours. The police reached the spot and they were pelted with stones by the angry mob. However, the police later brought the law and order situation under control and opened the thoroughfare for vehicular movement.

Though the police registered a case FIR No 144/2006, against unknown driver, no arrest have so far been made.

BODY FOUND: The bullet-riddled body of a man, in his mid twenties, was found near a dairy farm in Malir here on Tuesday.

Khokhrapar police said the body was sent to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre for autopsy where the doctors said that the victim received multiple bullets. Later, the body was shifted to Edhi morgue for identification.
