Samaa TV DSNG van attacked in Karachi, one dead
An employee of a media group was killed on Sunday evening when unknown assailants opened fire on a Samaa TV DSNG van in the metropolis' North Nazimabad area.
The incident occured at KDA Chowrangi, near Dolmen Mall North Nazimabad.
The outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attacks on the DSNG and on a police vehicle before that, in a statement sent to journalists.
An assistant cameraman, Taimur, received a bullet wound to the head and was rushed to the nearby Abbasi Shaheed Hospital.
Additional Police Surgeon Dr Rohina Hasan confirmed the victim arrived with a bullet wound to the head and died while under treatment.
"Postmortem has not been conducted yet," added Hasan.
'Same suspects might be involved'
The media van was in the area to cover an earlier incident, a cracker attack on a police vehicle, when it was attacked.
