KARACHI – Major General Rashid Mahmood HI(M), who is serving as Commander Karachi Logistics Area, has died after sudden cardiac episode.
Several military affairs and open-source intelligence accounts identified the officer as a member of the 84th Long Course, with a previous association with 29 Cavalry. The reported cause of death is said to be heart attack, leaving the precise medical circumstances unconfirmed.
Mahmood was admitted to Tabba Heart Institute in Azizabad, Karachi’s District Central, in critical condition following a major cardiac episode and subsequently died there. The public posts cited in the material did not corroborate the hospital’s identity, the admission timeline or the location of his reported death.
The officer was serving major general in a logistics command role and is distinct from retired General Rashad Mahmood, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee.
The demise news is yet to be shared by ISPR. The reported death, its medical cause and the additional hospital and service details therefore remain subject to authoritative verification.
