on 15 June 2006, Niazi was ambushed along with six of his associates in Saddar,[2] allegedly by Ubaid Khursheed alias K2. He was killed as martyrs, because of being reluctant to facilitate inmates belonging to a political party (not let the women visiting them in jail stay beyond visiting hours), including death row inmate Saulat Mirza, Nadir Shah and leader Saeed Bharam. Saeed was angry about Niazi not cooperating. As soon as he was released from jail, he started plotting against him. It was alleged that he killed Niazi over his refusal to provide illegal facilities to Saulat Mirza while his incarceration at Central Prison Karachi.
