Krachi, January 14: A reporter of Geo News television channel was gunned down by unidentified persons in Karachi on Thursday as violence and target killings returned to the city once again claiming as many as eight lives.
Wali Babar was returning home from work when he was intercepted by some people in a car and gunned down from close range in the Liaquatabad area of the city.
“We are looking into the motive behind the killing and it is premature to say if this was also a target killing,” a senior police official said.
But Geo News channel described the incident as another target killing which has claimed eight lives since on Wednesday.
