” University student killed while resisting robbery in Karachi ” | Dunya News Online

Another young man lost his life to Karachi’s lawlessness after he attempted to resist a robbery near Saad Bin Muaz Mosque in Korangi’s Allah Wala Town on Monday evening.

Twenty-two-year-old Muhammad Laraib, the eldest of four siblings, was a KDA Employees Housing Society resident. He was reportedly followed by robbers after he left his house. The police have begun an investigation into the incident.

The victim’s body was shifted to the Jinnah Hospital, where the deceased’s brother Shahzeb refused a postmortem examination. The family is expected to register a case after the boy’s burial.

Laraib’s father, Muhammad Hussain, told the media that his son was heading to the gym when he was killed. The father said the reason for his son’s resistance could have been the data stored on his phone for the book he was writing on basic accounting.

He said Laraib was engaged, and his wedding was being planned for next year.

According to details, the incident occurred at Sahil Avenue Crossing, Khayaban-e-Babar, DHA Phase-8. The victim was identified as 25-year-old Muhammad Adnan, son of Muhammad Ishaq. He was a resident of Naval Colony in Baldia Town, originally hailing from Kalat, a district of Balochistan. Adnan shuttled between Balochistan and Karachi for business and had been married for three months.

Police investigation revealed that the deceased and his wife had gone to a restaurant near Dau Darya, Seaview. The couple decided to take a walk along the beach wall after finishing their meal when the robbers targeted them. One of the assailants shot Adnan twice when he resisted the robbery and fled with the couple’s mobile phones, cash, and other items.
