What was the incident?

Saad Ahmed, a 24-year-old YouTuber, was shot dead by a security guard in the Serena mobile market in Karachi on June 4. According to eyewitnesses, the YouTuber was in conversation with the shopkeepers and the local public when the incident took place. During this conversation, Ahmed approached Gul Hassan, a security person in the famous Karachi market. During their chat, the flow of the conversation escalated to such an extent that Ahmed was shot by Gul with his service pistol.

He was quickly rushed to aid by the people around him but unfortunately lost his life. Footages in the CCTV indicated that Ahmed was shot in the shoulder and was bleeding in excruciating pain before being declared dead.

Police officers quickly arrived at the scene and, with the assistance of rescue teams, took the injured Ahmed to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital where he was pronounced ‘dead upon arrival’.

A First Information Report (FIR) has been lodged at Taimuria Police Station after a complaint was filed by the victim’s father, Mukhtiar Ahmed. The FIR names the security guard, the security agency and the mobile market authority who has been alleged of negligence despite prior permission for the video shoot.

The local police are understood to have taken appropriate action once the complaint was filed. The security person was detained and his weapon was confiscated with an inquiry underway. It was revealed that Gul was provoked by the gestures of Ahmed before taking the harsh measure to shot the YouTuber.
