KARACHI: Armed robbers killed a man and shot at and wounded three others over resistance in different parts of the city on Sunday, police said.

The Gulbahar police said that Daniyal Sabir, 20, was gunned down and Saleem Khan, 50, wounded by armed robbers over resistance at a shop in the Golimar area on Sunday afternoon.

The police said that four persons were present in the shop, Al-Waheed Traders, when two armed suspects arrived there on a motorbike. They entered the shop for committing a robbery, but the shopkeeper sensed danger and took out his pistol and resorted to firing.

The armed robbers also returned fire while fleeing, resulting in bullet injuries to two of the four persons present in the shop. The SHO said that one of them died on the spot.

In North Karachi, 28-year-old Shaharyar Usman was shot at and wounded by armed robbers over resistance near Anda Mor on Sunday morning.

In Surjani Town, armed muggers shot 23-year-old Ramesh Kumar when he put up resistance to their robbery bid in Khuda Ki Basti.
