RAWALPINDI: A man allegedly shot dead his mother-in-law and injured his wife over a family dispute in Kallar Syedan, while another woman was shot and injured by her former brother-in-law in the Banni police area on Friday.
According to the police, the incident occurred when Shoaib Altaf’s mother-in-law Saira Bano, 50, came to his house to take her daughter with her. Shoaib did not allow his wife to go and this led to an argument. While they were arguing, Shoaib got provoked and allegedly fired at his mother-in-law and wife, killing Saira on the spot. Police said the suspect later escaped with his son.
In another incident, a man shot and injured his former wife’s sister in a hotel room in the limits of Banni police on Friday. The injured woman was shifted to Benazir Bhutto Hospital.
