Zafar Baloch is right People whose family members killed by Pappu killed him, Uzair Baloch claims his father Mama Faizu killed by Pappu it means Uzair Baloch killed Pappu to take revenge of his father
Pakistan is a Bamana republic. Why the murderes named in the FIR are not yet arrested. IG and SP of police must be removed for the failure to arrest the gangsters and murderers.
