KARACHI: A 58-year-old Shiite doctor was shot martyred on Monday evening in his clinic in Korangi, bringing the recent death toll of Shia doctors to four in the same locality, according to police and religious party officials.
Dr Shamim Raza was sitting at his clinic in Korangi 1 ½ when gunmen on a motorcycle arrived there and entered the clinic. They went inside his room and attacked him. The victim sustained three bullet wounds and was taken to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, where doctors declared him dead on arrival, said Dr Seemin Jamali, head of the emergency department.
The victim belonged to the Shia community, said Landhi SP Akhtar Farooq. The deceased, father of two children, was a resident of Bahadurabad.
“This is the fourth killing of a Shia doctor in the Korangi area over the past three months,” said a spokesperson for the Majlis Wahdat-i-Muslimeen. Condemning the killing of the doctor, the MWM official said nine members of the Shia community had been killed in the Korangi and Landhi areas recently as authorities failed to curb sectarian killings.
Ahmed Ludhianvi and Malik Ishaq are infamous ringleaders of these takfiri terrorist outfits but the government doesn’t take action against them. Their stooges assassinated a Shia computer shop owner in Korangi last week.
In District Central, two Shia police cops Ali Hassan, 38, son of Raza and Mir Hassan, 35, son of Ali were injured when ASWJ’s takfiri terrorists opened fire upon them near Ayesha Manzil.
