GUJRANWALA: Five shot dead over land dispute
GUJRANWALA, April 15: As many five people were shot dead while two others, including a woman, injured in an attack by rivals in Karrial Kalan village, Noshera Virkan, on Thursday night.
According to reports reaching here, the killings were an outcome of an agricultural land dispute between Sabir Jutt and Ashraf Jutt, which had already claimed several lives.
Sabir Jutt was present in his house along with his guests on Thursday when Ashraf Jutt and his eight accomplices reached there and opened fire on them. Sabir Jutt, his brother Nawaz Jutt and three guests - Mustafa, Khizar Hayat and Hameedullah - died on the spot while Bashir Ahmad and Fazeelat Bibi were injured critically. They were brought to the local DHQ hospital.
DEMOLISHED: The DHQ hospital administration on Thursday demolished two medical stores illegally occupied by land grabbers for the last 20 years. The land grabbers occupied two shops belonging to the DHQ hospital near the main gate and got a stay order from a court of law when the administration asked them to vacate the same.
Later, the court dismissed their plea and issued a decree in favour of the DHQ administration. The hospital medical superintendent said the shopkeepers had been asked to vacate the shops, but they denied to do so.
ARRESTED: Baghbanpura police claimed on Thursday to have arrested the two accused who had killed a girl after raping her in Khalid Colony. Reports said the girl was playing in the street when Nadeem and Saleem took her to their house and criminally assaulted her.
Later, they killed her and buried in the compound of their house. A police party recovered the body from their house on Wednesday.
