2013-01-14
[Dawn] An officer of the State Bank of Pakistain was bumped off in Gulistan-e-Jauhar on Saturday, police said.

They added that 42-year-old Faheem Burhan was driving home when gunnies riding a cycle of violence intercepted him near Jauhar Morr.

The two sides had an altercation before one of the two riders fired at him, police said quoting some witnesses.

"The attacker fired multiple shots and fled," said Sharea Faisal SHO Inspector Raheem Khan.

"The victim was hit by two bullets in the face and chest. The body was later handed over to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) for medico-legal formalities.""We have found four spent bullet casings of 9mm pistol at the crime-scene," said a police investigator.

The victim was a resident of Gulistan-e-Jauhar block 19 and grade-II officer posted at the SBP foreign exchange refinance department.

"It was not a mugging attempt at all. The victim's family said a few days ago, two men riding a motorbike had attacked him in an attempt to snatch his cellphone, laptop and other valuables. He had scuffled with the bandidos and we think that could be one of the reasons of today's incident," said Inspector Khan.
