A doctor was shot dead inside a medical centre in Karachi’s Gulshan-e-Maymar area on Friday November 6 after armed suspects entered the clinic and opened fire.

According to the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) for District West the doctor sustained gunshot injuries in the attack and died while being transported to hospital.

Police said preliminary information suggested that the attackers entered the medical centre and went directly into the doctor’s room where they opened fire before fleeing the scene.

Initial investigations indicate that the incident may have stemmed from a personal dispute. However, the motive has not yet been officially confirmed and further investigation is underway to establish the circumstances surrounding the killing.

Meanwhile Sindh Home Minister Zia Lanjar took notice of the incident and directed the police to ensure the immediate arrest of those responsible.

The minister’s instructions came as police began investigating the shooting and working to identify and trace the suspects.

Authorities are expected to examine the available evidence to determine the motive behind the attack and bring those involved to justice.
