Sindh Home Minister Ziaul Hassan Lanjar suspended the SHO of the Gulshan-e-Iqbal police station over the killing of gold medalist Irtaqa Moin. Irtaqa was killed on June 1, 2024, during a robbery attempt on him.

Karachi police have also filed an FIR against unknown men for this incident. This incident reportedly happened in the evening when robbers killed Irtaqa during a theft attempt in Gulshan-e-Iqbal Block 7. The robbers took away his motorbike, cell phone, and cash.

Irtaqa was a 27-year-old gold medalist from Hamdard University and worked as a mechanical engineer for a private business. He got married a year ago. He was now doing his MBA.

The funeral prayers for a young engineer took place at the Jamia Sattaria near Nipa Chowrangi. Several people, including family and friends, attended his funeral ceremony.

The brother of the dead guy, Ibad, demanded justice from the relevant authorities for the death of Irtaqa. He stated the economic situation in the country is not good, and talent is leaving Pakistan. But what happens to people who are working for the government? They demand justice.

Another brother of Irtaqa, Usman Moin, registered an FIR against unknown robbers to the Gulshan-e-Iqbal Police on June 2, 2024. According to FIR, two motorbike-riding attackers followed Irtaqa and stole his motorcycle, cellphone, and cash.

They shot him when he resisted, causing severe injuries that led to his death. The bullet entered his chest from the right side and exited from the left side. It happened when Irataqa was returning to his home from a bakery to buy items for children.

This tragic incident has drawn public outrage as 71 deaths have occurred as a result of robbery attempts so far this year. Following these continuous robbery incidents, Sindh Home Minister Ziaul Hassan Lanjar suspended the SHO of Gulshan-e-Iqbal.
