Imtiaz Gulzar, 29, resident of Yousaf Park, Sherakot, was gunned down by his father Gulzar over monetary issues in the Sherakot Police Area on Monday.
Sherakot Police arrested Gulzar and recovered the murder weapon from his possession. Police said Imtiaz was living with brother Iqbal. Two other brothers were living with father Gulzar in separate houses located few yards away from each other. About 5 months ago, Imtiaz’s mother died naturally and Imtiaz’s two brothers, who were living with his father, bore all funeral expenses.
While Imtiaz and his brother Iqbal want to share funeral expenses, the other two brothers refused to take money and a scuffle started. On Monday, Imtiaz exchanged harsh words with his father Gulzar over the same issue after which Gulzar brought out a 12-bore shotgun and shot Imtiaz in the head. Imtiaz died instantly. Locals informed police upon hearing the gunshots, who removed the body to Mayo Hospital morgue for autopsy. Police arrested Gulzar and seized the murder weapon. Police registered a case against Gulzar on the complaint of the deceased’s brother and started investigations. Gulzar confessed the murder to police and claimed Imtiaz used to abuse him over non-issues and that was the reason he killed him.
