According to the police, the accused, Adil Hussain, shot his sister six times with a handgun, ignoring their mother's attempts to stop him.

The mother, who was asleep with her children, was awakened by the accused, who declared, "I'll teach you a lesson for arguing with me and failing in ninth grade," before carrying out the attack.

A murder case has been registered against Adil Hussain based on the complaint of the victim's mother, Sajida Bibi. The accused fled the scene with the weapon, and police are conducting raids to apprehend him.
