A targeted attack that police believe was sectarian in nature left a 52-year-old man dead on Thursday and two others, including a two-year-old child, fighting for their lives. As per details, a car with three passengers – Ameer Ali, aged 52, Ali Raza, 28, and two-year-old Ali Asghar – was fired upon by unidentified attackers who were on a motorcycle.

The attack, said Sachal Goth police SHO Syed Shakir Ali, took place near a branch of Bank Al-Habib in Scheme 33. Narrating the intensity of the attack, the cop said the killers fired incessantly at the victims’ car.
