KARACHI: A man was gunned down and another injured, in a gunfight on Thursday between two groups of the land mafia in Sachal police limits.

SHO Asif Jakhrani said the groups of Raja Fayyaz and Saleem sparred over a disputed land in Qasim Gabool Goth near Safoora Chowrangi.

During an hour-long exchange of fire, Ali Raza, 22, and Raheem alias Rambo, 19, sustained bullet injuries and were taken to a private hospital where Raza succumbed to injuries, the SHO added.

The officer also said both the groups worked together in the past to occupy lands; however, a conflict over a disputed land had caused a rift between them.

Police have registered a case against Raja Irfan, Imran, Zeeshan and Tassawur.

Body found: The strangulated body of a young man was found from the greenbelt near Arshi Shopping Centre within the limits of the Shahrah-e-Noor Jahan police station.

Police identified the victim as Babar Masih, 23, son of Khalid Masih, who was a resident of Kausar Niazi Colony. The body was shifted to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital and later handed over to the victim’s family. staff report
