KARACHI:
A man shot dead his father-in-law and two of his friends, allegedly in self-defence in Mominabad.
The prime suspect Hameed Khan was on the run whereas his brother Rehmat Khan and his father Shahjahan Khan courted arrest.
The deceased have been identified as 40-year-old Ghausuddin Ayub, 45-year-old Gul Bat Naik, and 25-year-old Ameen.
Speaking to the media, Hameed’s uncle Sheran said that Ghausuddin owed Rs7 million to his son-in-law Hameed who runs a used clothing business.
On Thursday, when Hameed was away, Ghaus came to his house with his friends to take his daughter back. They allegedly told Shahjahan and Rehmat that they had already killed Hameed and had come to take his widow home.
At that moment, Hameed returned home, leading to a heated argument between him and Ghaus.
During the altercation, Ghaus pulled out a pistol prompting Hameed to draw and both parties opened fire. As the guns fell silent, Ghaus and his two friends lay dead while Hameed suffered a shot in the leg.
The police are continuing their investigation into the matter.
