KARACHI: A 40-year-old man was shot dead in Khokhrapar-1 on Wednesday, police said.
They added that when Aijaz Husain reached the house of his sister in the F-1 area near the Post Office on a motorcycle to drop his wife, with whom he had contracted a second marriage just three months ago, armed motorcyclists attacked him and fled.
He sustained critical wounds and was taken to the JinnahPostgraduate Medical Centre, where doctors pronounced him dead on arrival.
Khokhrapar SHO Khan Mohammed Shaikh ruled out the possibility of a robbery bid as the cause for murder.
The officer said that when the victim reached the home of his sister along with his wife, the suspects forcibly pushed his wife into the house and closed the door from the outside and shot him dead at point-blank range. The murder appeared to be an outcome of personal enmity, believed the officer.
