Four persons including two women were allegedly murdered in separate incidents in Dijkot on Saturday.
Police said that in Allahabad, a man allegedly shot dead his ex-wife, her second husband and a friend of hers.
Police registered a case of triple murder and started searching for the alleged murderers.
According to the police report, 30-year-old Muhammad Adnan, the son of Irshad and a resident of Mohalla Ahmedabad, in Satiana Road, Mohalla Elahiabad Street No 7, had returned to his house with his wife, Sumaira Bibi, 35, and her friend Sumaira, 30, the wife of Raza Abbas and a resident of Satiana Road.
Reportedly, Sumaira was divorced from Tanveer Gujjar and later married Adnan.
When the couple and their friend had arrived in the street outside the house, Sumaira’s ex-husband Tanveer and his nephews identified as Sohail Gujjar and Zohaib Gujjar opened fire on them.
All three victims sustained serious bullet injuries.
The couple died on the spot while the victim’s friend Sumaira, the wife of Raza, succumbed to her injuries after she was shifted to Allied Hospital Faisalabad.
A passerby identified as 12-year-old boy named Ahmed, the son of Shahbaz, was also injured in the firing. He was shifted to Allied Hospital Faisalabad.
According to Saddar SHO Inspector Ayub Sahi, the victim, Sumaira Bibi had divorced Tanveer five years ago and married Adnan, a painter, and rented a house in Mohalla Ahmedabad.
