A boy brutally murdered his sister on Sunday in Dipalpur city in the Okara district of Punjab after she failed her ninth-grade exams.

The incident occurred in Hujra Shah Muqeem, where local police and rescue teams were immediately alerted. Despite being rushed to the hospital, the victim, Sajida, succumbed to her injuries on the way. Her body has since been sent to THQ Hospital for post-mortem examination.

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.
