A man shot dead his daughter’s paramour Waseem, 32, Ferozwala resident and injured his daughter, Shumaila Ammanat, in the name of honour in the Baghbanpura Police Area on Thursday. Police found out that Shumaila and Waseem had had an illicit relationship over the past few years and this had forced Shumaila’s father Ammanat to leave his native place in Ferozewala and move to Ahmed Town, Lahore some three years back. Ammanat also wedded Shumaila with one Imran but she had kept on contacting Waseem and had gone as far as eloping with him for a week or two.
About 22 days ago Shumaila again left her home along with Waseem. On Thursday both of them visited her house in order to collect some clothes where they had to bear the brunt of the father’s antagonism, who opened a blitz of fire on them. As a result Shumaila and Waseem sustained serious wounds and were rushed to a nearby hospital where the latter succumbed to injuries while Shumaila was said to be in a critical condition.
Police after reaching the scene removed the body of the victim to the morgue for autopsy and registered a case against Ammanat, who appeared before the police along with the weapon in question and surrendered himself.
