KARACHI: A man was found shot dead on city outskirts on Wednesday morning, police said.

The police identified the victim as Shah Nawaz Mallah, 45, and said that the bullet riddled body was found from bushes near Chakar Hotel off Superhighway.

He was a driver of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s provincial president Haleem Adil Sheikh.
