He said the lawyer had sustained three bullets and martyred while being treated at the Civil Hospital. The victim, in his mid-40s, was a resident of Korangi and father of four. The legal fraternity and religious organisations condemned the incident and termed it a failure of the security administration.

“The government has failed to curb the violence and take action against the banned outfits which are involved in the killings,” said religious scholars Abbass Kumaili and Maulana Hasan Zafar Naqvi in a joint statement issued by the Majlis-i-Wahdatul Muslimeen.
