Man pursuing brother’s murder case shot dead

An unidentified shooter clad in a burqa reportedly murdered the complainant in a murder case and injured in Shadbagh.

When the victims were attacked, they were seated outside their houses in a street in Bhaghatpura.

An individual wearing a burqa passed by them, likely taking note of the surroundings, before drawing a gun and firing on the victims.

The suspect shot Muhammad Ali Butt first. Butt’s brother, Faisal, was allegedly shot dead by a reported gangster operating from abroad, over a cable network issue.

Butt’s two companions tried to escape the shooter, however, one of them was shot and injured while trying to run into the house.

The suspect approached Butt and shot him twice, according to Butt’s friend who hid in the house. Hearing the gunshots, passersby came outside of their homes, some of them armed, but the suspect managed to flee the scene.

Upon getting information of the incident, police rushed to the spot to collect forensic evidence and record statements from eyewitnesses.

CCPO Lahore Ghulam Mehmood Dogar took notice of the incident and sought a report from SP City, issuing instructions to take strict action against the perpetrators.

The deceased victim, Muhammad Ali Butt, was the complainant in the murder case of his brother Faisal.

Reportedly, Butt was shot dead sometime ago over a cable network dispute and refusing to pay extra money. Ali Butt himself had received
threats over pursuing his case.

Ali Butt and his family alleged that notorious gangster Imran Pistol was responsible for Faisal’s killing. Imran is allegedly operating from abroad.
