THATTA, July 30: A man killed his wife, her mother and grandmother in Mirpur Bathoro on Monday.

Asif Rind, a young vendor of Sujawal, left his wife Shaheen a couple of months ago because of a dispute with his in-laws. His wife was living in her parent’s house where she gave birth to a child.

According to neighbours, Asif Rind came to the house of his in-laws on Monday and asked his wife to go with him but she refused. After an exchange of hot words, Asif lost temper, took out his pistol and shot at his wife, her mother and grandmother. They died while on way to hospital.

The police have arrested the accused.

Procession: Sacked workers of Thatta Cement Factory and political activists took out a procession here on Monday in protest against retrenchment of 70 workers.

Activists of the Labour Party Pakistan, Awami Tehrik, JSQM, PPP-SB, Jamat-i-Islami, Jeay Sindh Tehrik and PML-N participated in the procession.
