HYDERABAD, Sept 24: A man shot dead a boy and later committed suicide with the same pistol in Latifabad on Saturday night. Shoaib, 17, was gunned down by Ghulam Hussain, in the A-section police area following a dispute.

Ghulam Hussain, who was in his early 30s, committed suicide in the nursery park in the B-section police area.

The bodies were removed to the Bhittai hospital for post-mortem.

Shoaib’s father Shahid Rajput lodged an FIR that Ghulam Hussain had killed his son because he had objected to his immoral activities, involving Shoaib also.

He said that his son used to go to a fitness club where he met Ghulam Hussain.
