A 24-year-old youth was found dead inside a house in the Kot Lakhpat area. The deceased man’s family claims that he was murdered, however, the house owner claims that the man showed up with a gun and attempted to kill his daughter.
The body of Muhammad Ashfaq was brought to a hospital along with an injured girl, who had suffered gunshot wound on her hand.
The girl told the police that Ashfaq came to kill her sister after her family rejected Ashfaq’s marriage proposal. The injured girl claimed that Ashfaq first beat her mother and then tried to kill her sister, but she tried to stop him and suffered a bullet wound on her hand.
Ashfaq was killed as she and her mother tried to snatch the gun, a 30 bore pistol, from Ashfaq’s hands, the inured girl claims.
Muhammad Asghar, brother of the deceased, told police and reporters that his brother was killed.
Meanwhile, the girl’s father told reporters that Ashfaq wanted to kill his daughter as they had turned down his marriage proposal.
SHO Kot Lakhpat Imran Qamar said that police is investigating the case as both the families have issued conflicting statements about the whole incident.
Hospital sources, however, maintain that Ashfaq was murdered.
