KARACHI: Policeman martyred in the attack of Mufti Usmani was raising seven children, out of which three are sightless.
Sindh police official Farooq was not only a breadwinner for his own family, he was raising six children of his widowed sister as well.
Farooq used to work two jobs to make both ends meet. After his duty as a policeman, he used to work at a tire puncture shop.
Earlier today, Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah visited the martyred policeman’s family and said that they will be looked after.
Paying tribute to Sindh policeman who lost his life while protecting the religious scholar, the chief minister said we will not leave the family of the martyred policeman alone.
He announced that all treatment expenses of the visually impaired children of the martyred policeman will be borne. “We will take care of the medical and education expenses of the children,” Shah said.
On Friday, Mufti Taqi Usmani's two guards, one a Sindh police official and the other belonging to a private company, were killed as unidentified gunmen opened fire on two vehicles near Karachi's NIPA Chowrangi. The vehicles, which belonged to Darul Uloom Korangi, were travelling together and were fired at by assailants on motorcycles.
