Unidentified gunmen shot dead former PPP ticket-holder Babar Sohail Butt inside his residence late on Sunday night, DawnNews reported.
Butt was having dinner when gunmen, allegedly with the assistance of his guard, stormed into his house and opened straight fire on him, police sources said. Butt succumbed to his injuries at the Services Hospital.
The deceased contested for an MPA seat from PP-157 constituency in the 2013 elections on a PPP ticket and served as a member of the PPP-affiliated People’s Youth Organisation (PYO).
Aseefa Bhutto-Zardari, younger sister of PPP chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, in a tweet called for an investigation into the murder.
"They are still trying to silence us. Hope an investigation is conducted, anyone involved should be prosecuted," she wrote.

If the police system was made better in "previous" governments then you must have hoped for an investigation.

unfortunately I have to say and with a heavy heart that BB murder has not been investigated as well. They haven't caught the culprit. Why use it for political gains again and again.

tweet: "..hope an investigation is conducted" -- dear Ms Bhutto, there has to be, this was murder. So much for law and order in Lahore, Punjab. No amount of cricket tamashas can disguise these facts.

It is a matter of deep concern that he was shot inside his home. This crime must be investigated as a top priority by the Law Enforcement.

This is getting to be too much, I don't care for either PPP or PML- N and even PTI, but to kill a human being based on his political affiliation is unacceptable, I agree, there needs to be an investigation.
