KARACHI: An assistant sub-inspector (ASI) was martyred and a station house officer (SHO) remained unhurt in a firing incident in Karachi’s Brigade area late on Sunday night.

They tried to intercept some unidentified armed assailants who opened fire on them. As a result, the SHO remained miraculously unharmed and the ASI was martyred after being shot at least four times. He died on the spot.
