Newly wed Karachi couple gunned down in Malir
A young couple who had recently married was shot dead in a targeted assault near Saudabad RCD Ground in Karachi's Malir on Monday, when armed assailants on a motorcycle opened fire on their moving car, killing both on the spot.
Police stated the victims, identified as 20-year-old Nadia and 26-year-old Najeebullah, were sitting in the back seat of a rented vehicle en route to Hyderabad after appearing in judiciary proceedings related to a kidnapping case filed by the woman’s father.
CCTV footage of the event also surfaced, showing a motorcyclist approaching the vehicle and firing multiple shots at close range, hitting both victims in the head before fleeing the scene.
Following the event, Saudabad police reached the site along with Offense Scene Military team teams and collected proof. The bodies were taken to Jinnah Hospital via Chhipa Ambulance.
According to a preliminary police short report, the couple had recently married of their own choice and had appeared before a Malir judiciary to record their statements under Section 164 in connection with an earlier kidnapping case lodged at Sachal Police Station.
Police stated the woman’s father had earlier registered a case alleging her abduction under relevant sections of the statute, after she went missing from home in May. Investigators stated initial findings suggested ongoing family tensions linked to the marriage.
