Tenant kills woman shop owner

TOBA TEK SINGH: A medicine trader allegedly killed the shop owner by setting her ablaze when she demanded that the outlet at Tariqabad in Faisalabad be vacated on Friday.

According to the FIR registered under sections 302 and 336 B of PPC, Muhammad Umer said Muzammil Shahzad had obtained on rent his mother Robina Bibi’s shop where he was running a medical store.

He said some people complained to his mother that Shahzad was selling narcotics over which she asked the trader to vacate the shop.

This led to a clash between the shop owner and the tenant, he said. After an exchange of harsh words, he said, Shahzad followed her mother by his car and sprayed petrol on her clothes and set her ablaze. Critically injured, the woman was taken to the Allied Hospital by a Rescue 1122 ambulance but she succumbed to her burns.

Police conducted raids to arrest the suspect.
