2 shot dead over ‘personal dispute’ in Karachi’s SITE area: police

Two people were shot dead and two others were injured in Karachi’s SITE area on Monday, according to a police statement.

Keamari police said that the incident occurred due to a “personal dispute” adding that further investigation was underway.

The people who were killed included 45-year-old Asad Ullah and 20-year-old Sami Ullah. Meanwhile, the injured were identified as Ameer Abdullah and Ikram Ullah who were shifted to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC).

Earlier, an unidentified young woman was killed in an execution-style shooting in Orangi Town.

Amid widespread backlash, police authorities last year decided to control growing street crime in the metropolis and set up special teams to collect and analyse data from the closed-circuit television camera footage using the latest technology.

On Saturday, two muggers were sentenced to seven years in prison in a case pertaining to the snatching of mobile phones from citizens in Karachi’s Malir.
