Abdul Nabi Jamali, 28, was shot dead and his relative, Riaz Jamali, was injured after an armed attack was allegedly carried out by their relatives over a property dispute in Hyderabad.
The two were attacked near Ali Palace Chowk within the limits of Nasim Nagar police station. The aggrieved family blocked National Highway by staging a sit-in along with Jamili's body for over an hour. The protest blocked the traffic on either side of the highway for several kilometres.
The Qasimabad DSP Shabir Baloch eventually convinced the protesters to leave by assuring them that the police will take due action. Ghulam Nabi Jamali, brother of the deceased who later lodged an FIR, complained that the police were not arresting the suspects even after they informed the police about their hideouts. However, according to SHO Ghulam Mustafa Aaklani the suspects had fled from their houses. The three suspects have also been nominated in the FIR.
