Man shoots dead wife in Karachi court

Police arrested a man shortly after he shot dead his wife inside a court in Karachi on Monday, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

The firing incident took place in the court of Central Judicial Magistrate in District Central.

In his preliminary confession, the accused told investigators that he did not bring the pistol inside the court rather it was carried by the woman. He said her father is a sub-inspector who gave his loaded pistol to his daughter.

“I got panicked and snatched the pistol from her and shot her,” he further said.

The accused said he works in Nazarat Branch of the Islamabad sessions court.

This was the second firing incident inside the city court this year in which a woman was also murdered.
