The deceased journalist was identified as Abdul Wahid Raisani, who was the sub-editor of Azadi daily.
According to police, while Abdul Wahid was on his way to work from his house near Qambrani Road last night, the robbers tried to snatch his motorcycle which was fired upon while resisting.
According to police, Abdul Wahid Raisani was shot in the chest by the robbers.
Immediately after the incident, rescue workers took Abdul Wahid to the hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
