Councillor killed by robbers
SHEIKHUPURA, May 14: A councillor of Narowal was shot dead on Wednesday morning by four highwaymen near Narang Mandi.
Muhammad Malik and his four colleagues were going to Lahore by a car when robbers signalled them to stop. The robbers opened indiscriminate fire when the driver did not stop the car. As a result, a bullet hit the councillor who was sitting on the rear seat. He received critical bullet injuries and died on the spot. Luckily, his companions remained unhurt.
GANG-RAPED: A three-and-a-half-year old minor girl was stabbed to death after being gang-raped by two vagabonds on Wednesday in Qadafi Park, Muridke.
The daughter of Hafizullah was playing in front of her house when a shoe factory workers Qaiser and Shaban, aged between 14 and 16 years, abducted the girl. They took the girl to their factory where she was gang-raped. To hide their sin, they strangled the girl. Later, they packed the body in a plastic bag and fled after throwing it near the victim’s house. The bag was spotted by some passersby.
On receiving information, SSP Mubarik Ather rushed to the spot and ordered the arrest of the delinquents. The Muridke police conducted raids and succeeded in arresting both the vagabonds. Further investigation is under way.
Meanwhile, the area people demanded strict action against the culprits.
