After one and a half years, a man was shot dead by his father-in-law and brother-in-law for contracting love marriage at village 13 KB, Arifwala tehsil.

Reports said Muhammad Ahmed had contracted marriage of his choice and the girl’s family had opposed it. On Monday, Ahmed was working in fields when Haq Nawaz alias Gudoo Mohaar along with his son opened fire and critically injured his son-in-law. The suspects managed their escape.

Locals rushed to the scene and shifted the injured to Pakpattan DHQ Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries after two hours. Kalyana police have registered a first information report with no arrest so far.
