The victims were not affiliated with any religious or political party, said the police, suspecting that both the brothers were killed over personal enmity. Twenty-seven-year-old Qasim Ilyas had gone missing on Saturday, said an official at the Khwaja Ajmair Nagri cop shoppe. When he did not return home till Sunday morning, his family became worried and subsequently his brother, Ayaz Ilyas, 25, went out to find him, the official said. Quoting eyewitness accounts, the police said Ayaz was targeted by gunnies riding a cycle of violence in Sector 5-C/1 of North Bloody Karachi. Following the shooting, residents shifted the victim to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, where he died during treatment, the police said.
