A six-year-old boy named Abdul Ghani was shot dead by a stray bullet on the Korangi-Qayyumabad bridge in Karachi.

The boy’s father, Abdul Rauf, said that the child was sitting in the backseat of a high roof with his family when a stray bullet from an unknown direction smashed the window and hit him.

The family was returning home after meeting the victim’s younger sister who is undergoing medical treatment in a private hospital.

The father said that Abdul Ghani was the eldest among five siblings.

The child will be buried in the family’s hometown of Naushahro Feroze, Sindh.
