Islamabad:
A security guard of a firebrand young Pakistani parliamentarian
Friday survived after being set on fire along with his father and
five-year-old son in Karachi.
Faisal Raza Abidi, who represents the government in the upper
house of parliament, said: "The unknown assailants attacked the
guard, his father and minor son near Sohrab Goth area."
"We have shifted them to hospital where they are undergoing
treatment," he said, adding that "this is not the first instance
where he or people close to him have been harmed".
Deputy Inspector General (DIG) East of Karachi Police, Ameer
Shaikh told media "that statements of the injured have been
recorded and we have sent raiding parties to the spot where the
incident occurred".
Chief minister Qaim Ali Shah has ordered an inquiry into the
incident.

and belongs to Karachi, has taken on several mighty politicians in
the recent past with his vocal outbursts. The security guard was
provided to him by police for official security duty.
