Police Case Registered Following Attack

Farnaz Bibi, a resident of Karamabad in Pakistan, submitted a complaint to the police stating that her husband, Ibn Hassan, had a land dispute with her brother-in-law, Saqib Ali Bhutta. Saqib and his accomplices—Ahsan Kharl, also known as Tanda, and Shahzad Olakh—called them to a reconciliation meeting at a Rent-a-Car office located opposite Akhnoor Marriage Hall on Sialkot Road, Wazirabad. Farnaz, along with her husband Ibn Hassan and their sons, Amaaz Ali and Zaman Ali, arrived at the location.

Upon their arrival, they found Saqib Ali Bhutta (son of Rehmat), Ajmal alias Nanha (armed with a pistol), Yaseen (armed with a pistol), Ahsan, Shahzad Olakh (son of Muhammad Boota, armed with a pistol), and Kashif alias Kashi Bhutta, all armed and waiting for them. Saqib Ali immediately fired at Ibn Hassan with the intent to kill, hitting him in the right thigh, causing him to collapse. While he lay on the ground, Ajmal fired at him again with the intent to kill. The suspects continued firing their weapons and fled the scene, shouting threats.
