SAHIWAL, June 25: Three people, including a girl, her lover and lover’s father, were beheaded in Chak 103/9-L on Monday night.

Salima, the daughter of farmer Ghulam Muhammad, fell in love with her servant Yasin and eloped with him. Shabbir Ahmad, the father of Yasin, afraid of the wrath of his master, went into hiding. He searched for both of them and was to produce them before the farmer on Tuesday (today).

They were sitting in a cottage near graveyard when nephews of Ghulam Muhammad came there and beheaded them with hoes and fled from the scene.

Dera Rahim police have registered a case against Bashir Ahmad, and four nephews of the farmer.
