KARACHI: A fire brigade employee, injured in a gunfire incident two days back, has succumbed to injuries in a local hospital on Monday.
According to reports gathered by MM News, gunmen had stored a fire station in Korangi, Bilal Colony area, on Oct 1 and sprayed bullets, killing two employees on the spot and injuring one of them before fleeing from the spot.
Those killed in the attack were identified as Amir and Mehboob, while another employee Irshad critically injured in the attack was denied first aid soon after the attack as policemen rushing to spot preferred to record his statement at the crime scene and on the ambulance, instead of shifting him for treatment. The third employee succumbed to his injured today.
Meanwhile, police had registered a case against unknown gunmen under charges of murder, attempted murder and terrorism, and an investigation was already underway.
It is pertinent to mention here that despite seemingly effective measures taken in Karachi’s district Korangi to curb crimes, the area continues to appear in news flashes for various offenses including street mugging, robberies, and other anti-social activities.
