The slain doctor was serving at a private hospital in Gulistan-e-Jauhar in Karachi.
Police said the victim’s family has a history of tragedy, as one of his brothers was previously shot dead while another drowned.
Authorities added that they are investigating the killing from multiple angles.
In Karachi, a doctor was shot dead by unknown assailants on Sharea Faisal late last night, police said on Tuesday.
The victim was identified as Dr Sarang Memon, a resident of an apartment near the Karachi Press Club and originally from Badin. Police added that his body has been transferred to his hometown for burial.
Deputy Inspector General (South) said the doctor was travelling with his wife in a rickshaw when unknown assailants in a car began chasing them in Karachi.
Police said Dr Memon sustained four bullet wounds to the chest and legs during the attack, with the chest injury proving fatal.
At the time of the incident, he was returning home from Cantt Station with his wife. His wife immediately rushed him to a hospital in the same rickshaw after the shooting.
