LAHORE – An auto-rickshaw driver on Saturday forced his entry into the residence of his in-laws, injured his estranged wife and killed a relative of hers on suspicion of illicit relations. The incident occurred in Naseerabad area. The man died at a hospital while the condition of the woman was reported to be critical.

Investigators said that Bashir Faqir gunned down George Masih and wounded Tasliya Anayat at the Gulbahar Colony residence. Faqir fled from the scene.

The complainant Johnson Anayat told the police that Bashir forced his entry into the house and opened fire on his wife and George. “The man got infuriated after seeing his wife and the man in an objectionable condition,” a man who was at the crime scene said.

According to him, the injured were rushed to a local hospital where the man died.

The investigators said that Tasliya Anayat had left her husband’s house after she had developed some differences with him some two years ago. She was unwilling to reconcile with her husband.

The killer suspected that the duo had developed illicit relations.
