In an unfortunate incident, two brothers were shot dead and a woman got injured over personal animosity within the vicinity of their personal residence.
According to police, the younger brother of the deceased told the police that they were asleep when three unknown men broke into their house near the Chauntra Matore Mor within the Kallar Syedan police station limits somewhere around 1:15am at night.
He said that the accused and his brother Pervaiz Akhtar began to fight, upon which the accused shot his brother. Meanwhile, his sister-in-law got injured when she got hit by a pistol butt. He further said that the accused were trying to escape the scene but his other brother Tariq Mehmood tried to stop them but the accused retaliated by shooting another round. The gunshot severely injured his brother whereas the accused managed to flee the scene. He added that both of them were rushed to the nearby hospital but succumbed to their injuries.
According to police, while the first investigation revealed that the shooting happened due to personal animosity, it was originally believed that the shooting in the house resulted from resistance to an attempt at robbery.
