A man, his wife, and their two children were severely burnt after relatives broke into the house here Friday night and threw acid on them over an alleged land conflict.
Relatives of Noor Ahmed, one of the victims of the horrendous acid attack, broke into his house in the dead of the night and threw acid over the sleeping family, badly burning them. However, the suspects – including Ahmed Ali, Shahid, and others – escaped.
Noor Ahmed was involved in a property dispute in Chak 206 EB of Vehari – a town near Multan – with his relatives for some time and a case was underway in the civil court.
The acid burn victims – including Noor Ahmed, his wife Sharifa Bibi, and two children Anees Ahmed and Ali Sher – have been shifted to DHQ.
Police have subsequently launched an investigation and a search operation to arrest the suspects.
