RAWALPINDI:
Police have registered a case of double murder which occurred during a jirga in Gulistan Colony, an area under the jurisdiction of Civil Lines Police Station in Rawalpindi.
The case was registered against three brothers.
According to police, the complainant, Jameel Akhtar, said that he was a resident of Sood Gangal and was a government employee. He said his son, Siyam Butt, told him that due to a misunderstanding, a dispute arose between him, his friend Usman Zaheer, and Sabtain Butt, Hasnain Butt and Hassan Butt. To resolve the issue, it was decided that he and his brother would visit Hassan Butt and others, while Usman Zaheer would also be accompanied by his uncle.
The complainant said they arrived at Track 3, Gulistan Colony, where the three brothers were located. The accused alleged that some numbers belonging to the Butt family were saved in the mobile phones of his son and Usman Zaheer.
During discussions, the misunderstanding was resolved, after which the complainant and Shakeel left the office.
Soon after, Siyam and Usman Zaheer also came out, followed by Sabtain Butt and his two brothers. Sabtain allegedly asked Hassan Butt and Hasnain Butt not to let Siyam and Usman leave alive, on whom both opened fire. As a result, Siyam and Usman Zaheer were seriously injured and died on the spot.
The three accused managed to flee the scene.
The police registered a case and opened an investigation; however, no arrests have been made so far.
