FAISALABAD, Feb 01 (INP): A man allegedly opened fire, injuring his wife and brother-in-law over a dispute in Faisalabad on Friday.
A police official told newsmen that Sehrish, a resident of Chak No 189-RB, had married Haider Ali hailing from Sahiwal.
He added a few days ago, the couple had a heated debate over a family matter. When the arguments escalated, Sehrish got depressed and went to her parents’ home, he maintained.
The official mentioned that on the day of the incident, Haider went to his in-laws house along with his accomplices Shaukat, Ali and others. He pointed out that the accused tried to persuade his wife to come along with him but the woman refused.
He said the refusal enraged Shaukat and in sheer frustration, he opened fire on Sehrish and his 24-year-old brother-in-law Irfan. As a result, both suffered bullet injuries and were shifted to Allied Hospital for treatment.
Meanwhile, the police have registered a case and started investigations.
