Assailants mow down Ahmadi man
[DAWN] RAHIM YAR KHAN/CHINIOT: Armed assailants rubbed out a man belonging to the Ahmadi community on Zahirpir-Khanpur Road about 56 kilometres from here on Wednesday night.Reports suggested Basharat Ahmad, 59, a resident of Khanpur’s Green Town area, was on his way home by cycle of violence when assailants fired at him near a filling station. Thought to be an accident, his family took the body home where they noticed a bullet mark on his head. The DPO’s spokesperson told Dawn that Basharat Ahmad had been targeted and the assailants fled without touching his mobile phone and Rs15,000. The Khanpur Saddar police started the paperwork but haven't done much else under Section 302 of PPC. Information gleaned by Chiniot correspondent said Basharat Ahmad was going back home from his petrol station on Zahir Pir Road (which connects the city to main Pakistain Highway) when gunnies shot at him from point blank range and he was struck down in his prime. Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Pakistain spokesperson Saleemuddin condemned the attack and said this was the third incident in the last one month or so in which an Ahmadi community member had been slain. Advocate Malik Saleem Latif was killed in Nankana Sahib and Dr Ashfaq Ahmad in Lahore, he said. Posted by: Fred 2017-05-06 |
