Two people were wounded for putting up resistance during mugging attempts in the city on Monday. According to the Steel Town police, the man was injured by two armed men when he did not hand over his valuables to them in Gulshan-e-Hadeed.
Rescuers transported the injured to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), where he was identified as 32-year-old Abdul Wahab, son of Pir. Separately, 52-year-old Pervez, son of Saleem, was shot and injured by robbers over offering resistance during a mugging bid in Landhi.

The body of the victim was taken to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for an autopsy.
