NAROWAL: A man shot his former father-in-law dead on Saturday and injured a policeman in Rizwia Colony. Police said Azeem had married Abdul Latif Bajwa’s daughter a year ago.

He divorced her a few mother later. This had resulted in hostility between Bajwa and Azeem. On Saturday, after they had an argument, Azeem shot Bajwa, killing him on the spot. Police were called.

They surrounded the area and directed Azeem to surrender. Instead, he shot at the police, injuring one of them, later identified as Sub Inspector Muhammad Siddique, and escaped. The injured officer was taken to the district head quarters hospital, where doctors treating him said that he would likely survive.
