PESHAWAR: In a tragic incident, six members of the same family were shot dead over a domestic dispute in Khatko Pul area, located in the jurisdiction of Peshawar’s Urmar Police Station, according to the police officials.

As per SP Raza Muhammad, the casualties and injured have been transported in critical condition to Lady Reading Hospital (LRH). The victims, including some women, were from the same family.

Earlier, a 12-year-old child named Muhammad Zaki was brutally murdered by a man named Tariq Dogar for taking a bath in a tube well in a tragic incident near Burewala.

Between 10 and 11 a.m., Zaki, who was also learning the Quran by heart, had gone to the tube with his friends to bathe in the tube well to get relief from the scorching heat in the area.

The horrific incident happened at the time when he was sitting close to the water tank while the other kids were taking a bath. The suspect, upon observing the view, in a fit of rage, opened direct fire from a distance, which went through Zaki’s hand and struck both his legs.

Initially, the children thought that it was a Firecracker, but soon they realised that Zaki had fallen on the ground, which raised their concerns, and they rushed towards Zaki.

Upon realising that Zaki is taking his last breaths, the suspect put Zaki in his vehicle and tried to escape with it, but the children had already raised an alarm in the neighborhood, due to which the suspect gave Zaki’s body to his son and fled the scene.

The suspect’s son rushed Zaki to the hospital, but doctors confirmed that he had already passed away, leaving the suspect’s son feeling from the scene.
