ISLAMABAD: On Monday, a tragic incident of murder unfolded in Islamabad’s rural area, as reported by the local police.
Shakil Khan, who had recently purchased a two-Marla house in Khanna Dak, became embroiled in a property dispute.
According to police sources, he had successfully acquired possession of the house after paying Rs. 3 million to the previous owner.
However, the situation took a deadly turn when one of the former owners of the house reclaimed the property, prompting Khan to seek legal intervention by filing a petition in court.
This action seemed to enrage the former owner, who not only began issuing threats to Khan but also demanded additional money in exchange for vacating the house.
The former owner, accompanied by a group of individuals, launched a violent attack on Shakil Khan’s shop located in Bilal Town.
As per the details, the assailants opened fire on Khan, resulting in gunshot wounds to his neck, chest, and hand.
The attackers managed to flee the scene before law enforcement could arrive.
In response to the incident, the victim’s brother, Mohammad Hamid Khan, lodged a formal complaint against the assailants with the Khanna police.
