Journalist From Sindhi News Channel Shot Dead In Pakistan

A journalist working for a Sindhi news channel was shot dead by unidentified assailants on Saturday night, according to reports in Pakistan media.

The victim has been identified as Jan Muhammad Mahar. He was shot dead in an armed attack by bike-borne men near St Saviour School on Queens Road.

Several rounds of fire were sprayed by the assailants. According to the police, the journalist sustained multiple gunshot wounds to his head and in close proximity to his eyes.

He was rushed to a private hospital in a critical condition, but unfortunately, he died during surgery, as confirmed by hospital officials.

The cops are yet to nab the people who killed the journalist and the motive behind the murder. However, three teams have been formed led by the DSPs. Of these teams, two were engaged in area cordoning and impromptu inspections, while the third team was focused on reviewing CCTV footage.

"A personal dispute seems to be the cause of the attack," Sukkur SSP Singhar Malik said.
