A lawyer in Karachi shot dead a dacoit in Karachi while two accomplices of the slain robber managed to flee during a failed dacoity attempt on Sunday.
The incident occurred in the Boat Basin area near Clifton Chorangi. The three dacoits got surprised when the same person whom they were looting — a lawyer — fired shots at them and killed one of them.
The lawyer was in his car when the dacoits tried to loot him. Two robbers managed to flee from the scene leaving behind their dead accomplice.
The complainant alleged that the advocate got his brother killed over some “old dispute” but did not elaborate on the nature of the dispute or enmity.
It has been mentioned in the FIR that Ali had appeared before the additional district and sessions judge-17 of district west in a case pertaining to Section A(1) 23 of the Sindh Arms Act and was returning to the house in DHA where he worked when he was attacked.
It has been further stated that the judge on Wednesday had directed police to present all witnesses of the case at the next hearing on April 19.
