Four people, including a senior member of the Imamia Students Organisation (ISO), were killed in separate incidents reported in the city on Friday.
The deaths raised the number of people killed in political and sectarian attacks across the city to 35 in the past four days. Nine had died a day earlier, while ten had been killed on Wednesday.
Station House Officer (SHO) Haseebullah Qureshi said that Syed Saeed Haider Zaidi, 55, had gone shopping with his wife to Faisal Bazaar in the Azizabad police remit. After purchasing some household items, they went to the markets’s parking place and were about to mount their motorcycle when two armed men on foot opened fire, injured him and fled.
Some witnesses at the scene shifted the injured to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The victim had suffered two bullet wounds to his head. Police said a 9MM pistol had been used by the criminals.
Afterwards, activists and leaders of ISO and Majlis-e-Wahdat-e-Muslimeen went to the hospital and protested over the death of their leader. They also alleged the involvement of their rival group in the murder of Zaidi.
Investigators termed the murder as part of the ongoing sectarian killing. The victim was not only a senior member of the ISO but also a founding member of Darul Saqlain.
He was a resident of Rizvia Society.
PPP supporter slain
Anwer Bengali, 32, suffered seven bullet wounds, including one to his head, during the wee hours of the day near Kehkashan Apartments in the Sachal police remit.
SHO Azhar Iqbal said that Bengali was heading home in his car when two armed men on a motorcycle came near his vehicle, opened fire shots and fled.
He was moved to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), where he breathed his last. The criminals had used a 9MM pistol in the offence.
Bengali was a resident of Faiz Square, Gulzar-i-Hijri, and was involved in real estate business.
Investigators said that the murder of Bengali seemed to be a part of the ongoing target killings but they would investigate other aspects, including property issues. He was a supporter of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).

In the Docks police area, armed men gunned down Niaz Pathan, a resident of Mohammedi Colony. He was a contractor by profession.
