In the early hours of Wednesday morning, near New Sabzi Mandi on Superhighway, a university student tragically lost his life while successfully neutralizing two robbers, as confirmed by both the police and his family members.
Sheikh Muhammad Nihal, 22, and his uncle, Sheikh Muhammad Ayaz, were heading back to their North Nazimabad residence on a motorcycle after a late-night dinner on Tuesday. According to SITE-Superhighway Station House Officer (SHO) Zulfiqar Bhangwar, armed assailants on another motorcycle intercepted them near Jamali Pul.
Nihal, who was carrying a licensed pistol, drew his weapon and engaged in a shootout with the assailants. The ensuing exchange of gunfire resulted in bullet wounds for both suspects, Nihal, and his uncle.
