Aslam lost his life after being hit by a bullet of Kalashnikov. Forensic of the weapons were not carried out yet. The victims were friends who were meeting along road side, when the police party of Meethadar mistakenly opened fire over them by assuming them as dacoits. The victims were traveling on a bike when the police party asked them to stop. Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah after taking notice of the matter had sought report from the IG Sindh. Last year, a Karachi police cop kept filming a suspect, who writhed about in pain after being shot and injured in a “shootout” with police personnel in Qasba Colony, in lieu of shifting him to hospital.
