MURDER: Two people were shot dead in different parts of the city on Sunday.
Nasir told police his brother-in-law, Ali Hasan (30), had been doing his business at a place in Shahdara. Arshad, Anwar and Sher Khan of the locality wanted this place and had threatened him with dire consequences if he did not leave that place.
On Sunday, the three men opened fire on him after an exchange of hot words. He sustained serious injuries and died on way to hospital.
Ejaz, 18, of Sherakot was taken to the Shaikh Zayed Hospital with a bullet injury where he died.
The police said the matter turned suspicious after his mother, Naseem Bibi, made two conflicting statements. First she said he had committed suicide and, later, she claimed a bullet hit him when a gun went off.
Naseem had contracted second marriage with Sikandar after getting divorce from Anwar, the police said, and suspected that it could be a motive behind the killing.
