They were present in their quarter when an unidentified man barged in and hit them on their head with an iron rod, killing them on the spot. Reportedly, the victim’s body was later hanged by the accused. A police team reached the spot, took the body into custody and shifted it to a hospital. Police also registered case and started investigation. In another incident, Shagufta bibi, 35, wife of Ibrahim, and her son Zeeshan, 12, sustained serious injuries when a roof of their dilapidated house caved in.
