A Muzaffargarh man shot his sister dead on Thursday night for allegedly refusing a marriage proposal of his liking.

According to sources within the the Kandai police station, Shoaib wanted his sister to accept a marriage proposal of his choice.

When she rejected the proposal in favour of her own choice of suitor, the siblings got into a heated argument which ended with Shoaib shooting his sister and fleeing the scene of the crime, police said.

The woman's body has been sent to the Rural Health Centre for a post-mortem examination and an FIR has been registered in the case.
