PPP Senator’s guard, guard’s son torched in Karachi

KARACHI - Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) Senator Faisal Raza Abidi said his security guard and guard’s son were set on fire near Sohrab Goth area of Karachi on Friday.

The guard and his son were rushed to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital from where they were taken to the Agha Khan Hospital.
