Two arrested for shooting shopkeeper dead during robbery

Karachi authorities have detained two individuals linked to a robbery at a shop that led to the fatal shooting of the shopkeeper in the Sachal region.

Inside a store, 55-year-old Khan Muhammad was shot and murdered for resisting a robbery. He had five children and lived on a nearby street. He fought the perpetrators' attempts to rob him after they entered the store and started shooting.

Upon receiving the report of the incident, law enforcement quickly arrived to secure the location. A search operation commenced to find the suspects. During this effort, police tracked down the offenders at Super Highway Jamali Goth and took them into custody.

Authorities confirmed the recovery of a stolen mobile phone and cash from their belongings. The apprehended individuals confessed to their involvement in the crime.

Law enforcement officials indicated that further investigations are ongoing to ascertain whether the suspects had participated in other criminal activities within the region. The recovered items have been sent for forensic analysis, and the suspects will be brought before the court for legal action.

Another incident involved a police encounter in Korangi’s Zaman Town area. Police officials reported that a group of armed individuals was looting citizens when law enforcement officers arrived. Upon seeing the police, the suspects attempted to flee, leading to an exchange of fire.

One suspect, identified as Umar, was taken into custody during the encounter, but his accomplice escaped. From Umar's possession, police found a cell phone and a revolver. The second suspect is still being sought, officials said.

Police Constable Yaqoob suffered injuries during the operation when his motorcycle slipped as he was chasing the criminals. He is said to be in stable condition after receiving medical attention at a local hospital.

In the months following these events, police have increased patrols in the area. Authorities have promised that steps will be taken to uphold law and order and asked individuals to report any suspicious behaviour. The two cases continue to be investigated.
