Zubair Baloch, brother of jailed Pakistani gang leader Uzair Baloch, whose criminal career inspired the film "Dhurandhar", was critically injured on Thursday evening after unidentified gunmen opened fire on him outside his home in Karachi's Lyari area, according to Pakistani media reports.
The 40-year-old was sitting outside his residence on Singu Lane when two men on a motorcycle, their faces covered, fired several rounds and hit him in the chest and stomach before speeding away. Doctors rushed him into emergency surgery at Civil Hospital Karachi. Two people caught in the crossfire were also hurt, and one of them remains in serious condition.
