Minor quarrel claims man’s life

FAISALABAD: Two brothers shot dead a man on Wednesday morning to avenge a quarrel that took place at least four months ago.

Police took the body into custody and registered a case against the siblings after the postmortem of the victim’s body. Reportedly, 50-year-old Syed Hussain Shah, a resident of Chak No 237 RB Khadian Lakan, had a dispute with Haider Ali, and Faqir Hussain. In order to take revenge, the brothers shot at the victim while he was lying on a bedstead outside his flour mill (chakki).

The victim was rushed to the Allied Hospital in a critical condition where he succumbed to his injuries.

Sadar police registered a case against the two brothers on the request of Syed Hassan Raza Shah, son of the deceased victim.
