Lakhi Ghulam Shah SHO Muhammad Ali Soomro quoted eyewitnesses as saying that three or four armed men had opened fire on Kamaluddin Bugti and his wife, Mahgul Bugti. The couple, who are survived by four children, died on the spot.
According to Soomro, Mahgul’s first husband had evicted her from their home over allegations of disloyalty. She later married Kamaluddin and lived with him for several years.
The SHO added that Kamaluddin’s family had alleged that Nooruddin Essani, the son of Mahgul’s first husband from his other wife, had killed the couple with his accomplices.
Following the incident, Bugti tribesmen, with the bodies of the deceased, blocked the Sukkur-Shikarpur road. They dispersed only after the police assured them the killers would be arrested and an FIR would be registered on the basis of their complaint.
Kamaluddin’s uncle, Sawan Bugti, told the media that despite marital differences, Mahgul’s former in-laws, including Essani, would visit her residence and the two families were on good terms.
