LAHORE: A man was shot dead by unidentified assailants while his father and a passerby were injured outside the sessions courts in the Islampura police jurisdiction on Monday. Ghulam Mustafa, 25, a resident of Chung, had come to a murder hearing at the sessions courts with his father Maqbool Ahmed. They were about to enter the court’s premises when five men opened fire at them injuring Ghulam, Maqbool and a passerby lawyer Agha Zafar Iqbal. They were rushed to the hospital where Ghulam died while the condition of the two injured was stated to be out of danger. Ghulam’s body was sent to the morgue for an autopsy and a case has been registered on Maqbool’s complaint.
Islampura SHO Nauman Habib said that Maqbool Ahmed was involved in over four murder cases and had come to the court with his son for the hearing of one of the cases. Saddar Investigations SP Babar Sarfraz said that it was likely that Ghulam was shot dead by his rivals, and he expected the assailants to be arrested soon. |
