A man was gunned down on Wednesday on University Road near the Samama flyover within the limits of the Mobina Town police station.

Following the incident, police and rescue workers reached the scene and transported the casualty to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital from where the body was shifted to a morgue. The deceased man could not be identified. According to police, no item was found on the deceased that could help establish his identity.
