HYDERABAD: An 80-year-old Ahmadi man, identified as Chaudhry Akram Arain, was shot dead and his grandson, 18-year-old Muneeb Ahmad, was injured, near a relative’s house in Shaheed Benazirabad on Wednesday.
According to Iqbal Arain, Akram’s nephew, both men were on their way to Akram’s son-in-law’s shop when they were ambushed by two motorcyclists in Camp Two area of the district.
DSP Aijaz Memon said that they were looking into a possible motive for the attack but have so far ruled out a personal enmity. It follows a pattern of similar attacks against Ahmadis.
Akram had returned three months ago on a visit from Australia where the family had migrated to in 2001. His son and a daughter still lived in Shaheed Benazirabad.
The Ahmadiyya Jamaat in Rabwah condemned the killing in a press statement asserting that Arain was murdered because of his religious beliefs.
