Targeted attacks: Prayer leader shot dead inside mosque

Targeted attacks: Prayer leader shot dead inside mosque

A prayer leader and an employee of the Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco) were shot dead in separate incidents in District East of the city on Tuesday.

The prayer leader, 42-year-old Maulana Habibur Rehman, was shot dead inside Siddiq-e-Akbar Masjid in Gulistan-e-Jauhar.

The incident occurred when Rehman was sitting in his office within the premises of the mosque after Zuhr prayers.

Police said at least two unidentified men riding a motorcycle had reached the mosque and one of them went inside the office. “The suspect asked Rehman for a nikkah registration form from the office’s window, after which the victim allowed him to come inside,” said DSP Nasir Lodhi. “The man then fired at least twice and one bullet hit the victim’s chest.” The armed men then escaped, he added.

Rehman was taken to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), where he succumbed to his injuries during treatment. The police later arrested a young man, identified as Mairaj, after the prayer leader’s minor son identified him. According to the police, Mairaj used to live in the same area and was a frequent visitor to the mosque. However, the police added that they are still investigating the case.

The victim belonged to Punjab and was a father of three. He had been serving as the prayer leader at the same mosque for the last 15 years. A case has yet to be registered.
