Unidentified gunmen shot dead Shia leader Syed Ali Imam Jaffari in Kotwali police precincts on Thursday, police said. Police said that the assailants opened fire on Jaffari when he was going to an imambargah in the Kotwali area of the city. Jaffari was the caretaker of Imambargah Ali Imam and a former president of the Tehreek-e-Jaffaria in Kotwali tehsil. JaffariÂ’s relatives and a large number of Shias gathered outside the hospital where his body was brought after the attack, and protested against the killing. They demanded the government provide security to the Shia community in the city. City SP Sher Akbar said the police had started investigating the murder. |
