The custodian of an imambargah was tragically gunned down in Korangi, Karachi, just one week after his son was also murdered. According to the police, Safdar Hussain, 60, was killed by unidentified assailants near Sughra Imambargah in Korangi No 4 late on Tuesday night.

Authorities believe the motive behind the murder was robbery, as the attackers attempted to snatch his mobile phone and he resisted. The incident occurred while Mr. Hussain was sitting with three other individuals near his home. Despite the efforts of doctors at the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, he succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds to the head.

It should be noted that earlier this month, Mr. Hussain’s son, Azhar Hussain, was also fatally shot by armed robbers in Korangi. The police managed to apprehend two suspects involved in the killing of Azhar after an encounter.
