The incident took place at the house of the mediator, who was not named by the police. The man’s son-in-law, Aqib, had a brawl with his own younger brother, Afzal, over a family dispute. The brothers had developed differences which eventually saw Aqib leave his family house and move in with his in-laws.
On Wednesday, Afzal went to the victim’s house in Pindora to convince his brother to come home, but instead the meeting turned into a brawl. During the fight, Afzal pulled out a pistol and opened fire at Aqib, but hit his father-in-law instead. The father-in-law died on the spot.
The police have registered a murder case against the suspect on the complaint of Rizwan, a son of the deceased. Meanwhile, Rao Nauman lodged a report with the same police that auto-thieves stole his motorcycle (BL-016) from outside his house on Sixth Road.
