KARACHI: A 17-year-old boy was shot dead by some youths after a quarrel over biking in Karachi, ARY News reported on Friday.

According to details, the 17- year-old boy – identified as Jazlan – was shot dead on the Super Highway in Karachi after a scuffle when the victim raised objections to the reckless biking of the suspects.

Sources have claimed that Jazlan along with his friend Shah Mir was travelling on Jinnah Avenue when they asked a teenager why he was riding his motorbike in such a dangerous way, resulting in an exchange of hot words between them.
