SARGODHA: Three women were killed in Laliani village, 50km from here, on Thursday night allegedly over a domestic issue.

According to police reports, Manzoor Ahmad had developed a dispute with his sister-in-law, Zubaida Bibi, over the marriage of her daughter, Ishrat Bibi, which she arranged against Ahmad’s wishes.

The wedding was scheduled to take place in just a few days. This infuriated Ahmad, who axed to death Zubaida and her daughters -- Ishrat and Misbah -- and fled. Police reached the spot and sent the bodies to hospital for autopsy. They were conducting raids to arrest Ahmad.

ROBBERY: Unidentified suspects robbed a sub-inspector of an official wireless set and a 30-bore pistol with bullets.

Sajjid Shaheed police registered a case and started an investigation.

In another incident on Khushab Road, a rickshaw collided with a wagon resulting in the death of Mumtaz and injuries to Khalid and others.
