KARACHI: The Namaz-e-Janaza (funeral prayers) of slain religious cleric and his son will be offered Sunday in Buffer Zone area of Karachi.
Maulana Ahmed Madni, a prominent cleric and half-brother of the slain Sipah-i-Sahaba Pakistan leader Maulana Azam Tariq, was gunned down along with his son Abu Bakar in New Karachi Town on Saturday.
Police said the vehicle of the 55-year-old cleric, which was being driven by his 29-year-old son, came under attack in the 4-J sector of the town.
New Karachi Town SP Karamullah Soomro said three armed men on a motorcycle intercepted their vehicle near Hameed Chowk and opened fire on it.
He said the Maulana, father of five, received three bullets and died on the spot. His son, who was hit by multiple bullets, died while being taken to hospital.
The situation in New Karachi turned tense after the shooting. Traders pulled down shutters and traffic disappeared from roads.
Police remained clueless about the motive and people behind the murders.
