Three Transgender People Found Shot Dead in Karachi’s Memon Goth

Police have formed special teams to pursue suspects following the roadside attack.

Overview

  • Police, Rangers and rescue teams found the bodies near the Nagori Cooperative Housing Society off the M-9 in the early hours of Sunday and cordoned the area for evidence collection.
  • SSP Malir Abdul Khaliq Pirzada said each victim was shot once, with two chest wounds and one head wound, and investigators recovered 9mm casings and other items from the scene.
  • Authorities are verifying identities as police and community members offered different names, fingerprints were taken, and the bodies were sent to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre for post-mortems.
  • Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah ordered immediate arrests as police formed special joint teams and began reviewing nearby road cameras, with no arrests announced so far.
  • Investigators say the victims appeared to be standing by the roadside, possibly seeking a ride, when the shooter fled, and rights advocates note the killings echo a broader pattern of violence against transgender people in Pakistan.
