Mobile phone snatchers shot dead a youth sitting outside his home in Landhi on Sunday. Kashan, brother of two sisters, was working as a graphic designer in a private firm.
The neighbours of the victim said that Kashan was sitting outside his home due to prolonged power outages when two motorcyclists came and tried to snatch his cellphone.
Upon offering resistance, the robbers opened fire on Kashan, killing him on the spot and managed to flee the scene.
It is pertinent to mention here that incidents of murders during snatching bids have occurred frequently in the city and in one such incident recently, a layman selling peanuts succumbed to bullet injuries he conceded while resisting an alleged robbery bid on Saturday near Baldia Town’s Yousuf Goth.
The police said the incident took place near Yousuf Goth when the deceased victim resisted the robbery to which the suspected criminals opened fire that proved fatal for the peanuts-seller.
