Zeeshan, 30, was shot by a Rangers’ personnel on February 28 when he was engaged in a brawl with his estranged wife Shafia.
Relating his account of the incident, Noor told the court today that he saw 10 to 12 people surrounding Shafia, adding that one of the men was hitting her. Noor stated that it looked like the man was attempting to abduct Shafia.
The Rangers officer said that he aimed his weapon at Zeeshan's leg in an attempt to injure him to save the wife.
The paramilitary force has also maintained that they opened fire with the intent to injure the husband as they suspected that he was trying to kidnap Shafia.
The deceased's wife had also stated that her husband, along with 15 to 16 men, was trying to abduct her.
"They even beat me up and that is when one of the Rangers opened fire,” she had told the police.

Mr Shams, Then please don't wail when a womenfolk of your household is abducted and police/LEAs standby to avoid comments like your. Don't cry when Shahzaib is murdered for saving his sister's honor. What a people we are! When they act, we cry foul, when they don't, we cry foul!
@Jalbani Baloch: Husband or no husband..... he didn't have any right to abduct a woman. You take law in your hand, you pay the price.... period.
This ranger should be punished and made example of as he failed to perform his basic duty of protecting the citizens and instead killed an innocent person.
