KARACHI: Three unknown armed men reportedly intercepted former Sindh governor Muhammad Zubair’s car in the provincial capital’s Defence area on Tuesday night.
Zubair is the brother of Finance Minister Asad Umar.
“I was driving home with my wife around 11:30pm when a car intercepted us on Saba Avenue. When I saw a pistol in the hand of one of the suspects in the car, I sped off,” Zubair told police.
“I have never asked for security and the government did not provide it either,” he said, adding that he had been receiving threats for the past four years.
“The government should review security arrangements in light of the incidents during the last two months,” said the former governor.
According to Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) South Pir Muhammad Shah, Zubair’s statement regarding the incident has been recorded but a First Information Report (FIR) has not yet been filed.
Later, the SSP directed police officers to be deployed outside Zubair’s residence.
SSP Clifton Suhai Aziz and SSP Shah also visited Zubair’s residence to meet the family.
Similarly, Inspector General Police (IGP) Sindh Dr Syed Kaleem Imam on Wednesday took notice of the incident.
He instructed SSP Shah to ensure security measures after meeting with Muhammad Zubair. He also directed to take every possible step to arrest of culprits involved in the incident.
