Karachi Police Investigate Murder Motives Behind Army Man’s Death in Bahadurabad
The police are investigating potential motives behind a recent shooting where Adnan Abbasi, an army man who passed away due to gunshot injuries while riding his motorcycle with family. This occurred at the Mariam Masjid and Adamjee Nagar areas of Karachi on Sunday night, as stated by Bahadurabad Station Investigation Officer Amir Altaf.
“He suffered critical bullet injuries and was transported to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, where doctors pronounced him dead.” – The police report quoted above indicates that Abbasi died from gunshot wounds while on his motorcycle with family in Bahadurabad during an attack by two unidentified suspects.
To better understand this incident and to find the possible motives behind it:
The circumstances of the murder remain unclear. However, IGP Javed Odho suggested that the crime appears targeted towards Abbasi himself, pointing out personal enmity as a probable underlying factor rather than robbery. The suspects were also found wearing helmets and had stood at a significant distance before opening fire on Abbasi’s motorcycle, which the family reportedly considered it not to be related directly with looting attempts but possibly other considerations involving them that prompted this heinous act of violence against an individual.
The police are examining several angles in their investigation efforts: Not only did they register a murder case based on information provided by Abbasi’s family, which filed the FIR under Section 302 (premeditated murder) — not robbery-related as per IGP Odho— but also have collected some evidence from the scene and are interviewing witnesses. The inquiry is still unfolding, with no concrete conclusion drawn about whether it’s solely a case of personal enmity or if other elements like resistance to an attack during robbery played any role in Abbasi’s untimely death on that fateful night around 10:03pm.
“When the victim arrived there, the armed suspect ‘all of a sudden’ opened fire on him,” as per police statements about what transpired when Abbasi got to Bahadurabad Station with his family for their usual evening ride after work hours following midnight prayers—a routine that they had followed since he began working in Karachi. This tragic event has shaken the community, leaving many of them deeply affected and distressed by this senseless act of violence against a well-loved member among his kin who always brought happiness to those around him with stories from their native Khyber Pakhtunkhwa that he shared during family gatherings in Karachi.
As part of the ongoing investigations:
Relatives are expected soon, post burial ceremony conducted for Abbasi at home by immediate next-of-kin—siblings living there themselves since childhood along with their spouses who also share deep familial bonds having grown up together as siblings. They all plan on approaching the police after attending his funeral service held locally within close family circles wherein traditional rituals performed according to local cultural customs while paying homage respectfully towards deceased members, including offering first hand information about Abbasi’s daily activities leading right upto 20 minutes prior getting shot—a rare opportunity for them now lost due this sudden tragedy though they feel guilty but helpless noneth each having nothing specific apart from personal memories and feelings regarding Adnan which makes it important to provide insights into events surrounding his unfortunate demise, including interactions with those known or unknown people he had met there during weekday evenings as well. In conclusion:
Investigators are working tirelessly towards ensuring justice for this family by bringing culprits behind Adnan Abbasi’s murder to their faces so that such an unfortunate and horrifying incident does not reoccur in society again ever, while the community awaits with bated breath hoping quickly find out answers as soon possible.
