MUZAFFARGARH: A man was allegedly killed by his daughter over property in Chowk Sarwar Shaheed area on Friday.

Kot Addu DSP Abdul Rehman Asim told Dawn that Qaisar Ali was a sales officer in an insurance company and had contracted several marriages. His daughter, Mariam, opened fire on him with a pistol, killing him on the spot.

Victim’s brother Muhammad Ali said his brother was murdered by Mariam on a land dispute because Mariam and her mother, Asia, suspected that Qaisar would distribute the land among all the wives and children and sell his residence.

District Police Officer Awais Malik said suspect Mariam and Asia had been arrested.
