A man was fatally stabbed by his brother following a brief argument in the Patel Para area, police said on Thursday.

According to Station House Officer (SHO) of Jamshed Quarters Ansar Ahmed Butt, 40-year-old Dilawar was in the kitchen preparing tea when his brother, Jahangir, walked in. 

He reportedly got into a heated argument after Dilawar requested him to step away. In response, Jahangir allegedly grabbed a knife from the kitchen and attacked his brother, inflicting multiple stab wounds.

Dilawar was taken to the Civil Hospital Karachi in a critical state, where he succumbed to his injuries and died.

The suspect fled the scene along with the murder weapon, SHO Butt added.

In another incident from June, a teenager died in Karachi’s Guru Mandir area after being pushed during a dispute involving friends and a cousin at a restaurant.

Police said the altercation began over a photo found on a suspect’s phone. 

Six individuals were detained, and the body was shifted to Dr. Ruth Pfau Civil Hospital for legal formalities.
