A local leader of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Faiq Khan, was shot dead in Karachi's Dalmia on Monday night. He was attacked outside his home, and police suspect personal enmity may be involved. PPP officials described the incident as a targeted killing, noting Khan's history of opposing anti-social elements in the area. The body has been sent for an autopsy. This shooting follows a recent attack on PPP lawmaker Jam Mehtab Hussain Dahar, who survived an assassination attempt the previous day. One of his bodyguards was killed in that incident.
