A woman shot another woman dead in an incident currently being investigated by the police as to whether it was intentional or not.

However, he added, the police are still in doubt about the family's version and a forensic test will be carried out for further investigation.
Meanwhile, Salma's brother-in-law, Hidayatullah Maachi, told the media that the family does not want to register an FIR as the killing was not an intentional murder.
The slain woman's husband is a labourer who reportedly lives in Karachi.
