KARACHI, Aug 2: Two young friends were shot dead late Wednesday night within the remit of the Site-B police station in Metroville No 2, said police.

The police quoted the victims’ families as saying that Rasheed Akbar, 22, and Shahnawaz Baloch, 23, were returning home after shopping when they were sprayed with bullets.

Both the men sustained multiple gunshot wounds and died before they could be taken to a health facility, the officials said.

Later, a brother of one of the victims, Saleem, lodged an FIR (222/2012) against unidentified persons at the Site-B police station.

The police said they were not clear about the motive for the murders.
