KARACHI: Complainant Khalid Hussain, who registered a kidnapping and torturing case last month against Muhajir Qaumi Movement-Haqiqi (MQM-H) chief Afaq Ahmed and four other activists of his party, was wounded in a firing incident here on Wednesday.

According to a report, Hussain was shot and injured near his residence located in Landhi C-1 area within the jurisdiction of Landhi police station. He was shot once in his leg and was shifted to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for treatment.

Hussain, who works in Karachi Water and Sewerage Board, had registered an FIR (244/11) under Sections 342/109/506-B/337- (i) of Pakistan Penal Code at Landhi police station on Oct 7 in which he nominated Ahmed and four activists of MQM-H, including Raees Topi, Yameen alias Hakla and Ejaz Babu, while recording his statement that those activists on behalf of Ahmed kidnapped and tortured him on Oct 6, 2011. The case remained in pending as no arrest was made.

According to doctors at Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, the victim sustained minor injury as the bullet hit and crossed his leg. Police officials said that no case was registered, as the victim was not in position to record his statement.
