A 56-year old Hindu doctor was gunned down in the Pak Colony area of Karachi on Thursday.
“Dr Pireetam Das was sitting in his clinic located in Hasrat Mohani Colony at midnight on Thursday when someone attacked him,” said a police official, adding that the doctor was alone when he was attacked.
The official said that the doctor’s assistant took the injured man to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital on a rickshaw.
The doctor’s son, Mukesh Kumar, arrived at the hospital after being informed. Kumar shifted his father to Aga Khan University Hospital, where the doctor succumbed to his wound while under treatment.
Earlier, two members of the Hindu community were among three people shot dead in an attack on a wine shop in the Abbas Town area of the metropolis.
