A man was shot dead and two others sustained injuries over resistance during different robbery incidents in Faisalabad during the past 12 hours. A police spokesman said here on Saturday that 35-year-old Waqas of Gulshan-e-Rehman Colony was returning after performing his duty in a pipe manufacturing factory when two armed bandits intercepted him near Babar Chowk.
The robbers tried to snatch cash and other valuable items but Waqas produced resistance which enraged the outlaws and they opened fire. As a result, Waqas received bullet injuries and was rushed to hospital where he breathed his last amid intensive care treatment.
