Two military police personnel were killed on Tuesday as masked gunmen opened fire on their vehicle near Karachi’s Gul Plaza on MA Jinnah Road.
“The assailants stopped their car and opened fire on them near Tibet Centre in Karachi,” a police official. Eyewitnesses said bike-riding militants took head-shots of the two military police personnel who were sitting inside their vehicle.
“One of them died on the spot whereas the other succumbed to his injuries at the hospital,” DIG South Jamil Ahmed told AFP. ”This is a very serious incident but we will track the attackers down soon.”
Bodies of the personnel, who were later identified as Lans Naik Rashid and Havaldar Irshad, shifted to the PNS Shifa Hospital for post-mortem examination.
Police and Rangers cordoned off the crime scene and launched investigations to arrest the suspects.
