An eight-year-old flood victim who sold toys was ‘shot dead’ outside a restaurant in Karachi’s Boat Basin area.
According to reports, the incident occurred last night in Karachi’s Boat Basin neighbourhood, when an 8-year-old boy named Muhammad Umar, who was selling toys, was killed by gunfire outside a restaurant.
According to police, the deceased was stopped from begging by the pizza shop’s security guard; when he did not stop, the guard opened fire and fled by throwing the body behind the private hospital.
The mother of the deceased child, on the other hand, stated that her son was not a beggar and that he used to earn bread and butter for the family by selling toys.
The father of the deceased boy, who drives a rickshaw to support his family, said his son was killed and the body was thrown in the garbage. “We want justice in the case,” he added.
