Security guard shot dead.

KARACHI -- A private security guard was shot dead on Tariq Road on Saturday evening, according to police and rescue services. An Edhi Foundation spokesperson said that Mohammed Fakhrul Islam, 41, was shot and killed when he resisted an armed robbery bid at a jewellery shop near Liberty Chowk.

However, the Ferozabad police disputed the Edhi's version, saying Islam was gunned down by another security guard over some personal matter. The body was shifted to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) to fulfill medico-legal formalities.
