Violent: Man stabbed over parking space

LAHORE: A man was stabbed by three people during a tussle over parking space on Friday. Green Town police said Farman Ali, a resident of Kot Heera Singh, worked as a driver for Dr Safia. He was a father of two and the sole breadwinner for his family, police said. On Friday, he drove his employer to one of her relative’s house near Puli Stop, Green Town. Ali parked the car on the road while Dr Safia went to visit her relative. In the meantime, Toti Shah, a resident of the area, told Ali not to park on the road. They exchanged angry words and Shah called two of his friends to the scene and started beating up Ali. One of them pulled out a dagger and stabbed Ali several times and fled. Police were called to the scene. They took Ali to a hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. Police have registered a case against the men on Dr Safia’s complaint and are looking for them.
