Two held for triple murder

Choa Saidan Shah police claimed on Tuesday to have arrested two men for allegedly killing three people in the Jhik village.

DSP Khalid Mehmood Watto and SHO Mirza Asif Mehmood told a presser that Nabeela Yasmin, her son Syed Anees Haider Bukhari, and her brother Syed Qaiser Ali Shah were shot and killed at their village on November 1, 2024.

The relatives initially accused four of their close family members, with whom they had a land dispute of murders. However, after an investigation, police cleared all four suspects.

After two months, the police arrested two suspects from Arha village, Syed Hassan Lajpal Haider Shah and Kamail Abbas and recovered a murder weapon.

According to the police, victim husband, Mahmood al-Hassan, had been working in a coal lease with Jehangir Shah from Arha. After Mahmood's death, a dispute arose between the victim and Shah over the coal business.

Shah had promised Nabeela to pay her Rs270,000 every month but failed to do so.

Meanwhile, Nabeela was also involved in a land dispute with her husband's brothers. On the day of the murders, when Nabeela's brothers-in-law were ploughing the disputed land, the latter, with the help of her son and brother, stopped them from continuing.

This led to a heated argument between both parties. Later that evening, two individuals entered the house and killed Nabeela, her son Anees, and her brother Qaiser.
