SAHIWAL, Dec 12: A widow and her grandson were reported killed at ‘Sehr’ on Wednesday while her granddaughter injured seriously over a land dispute.
Zainab, widow of Muhammad Yaqoob, after the death of her husband leased out 12.5 acres of land to one Bashir Ahmad. Bashir occupied the land and stopped giving rent of the land a decade ago. On it, Zainab moved the court which ejected Bashir two years ago.
