KARACHI: Two members of the Hindu community were among three people shot dead in an attack on a wine shop in the Abbas Town area of the metropolis on Sunday evening.

“Two armed individuals on a motorcycle attacked the wine shop,” said Malir SSP Rao Anwar.

The police official added the shop manager, a salesman and a guard died as a result of the attack, while another guard sustained gunshot wounds.

“We are investigating the attack,” said Anwar.
