KARACHI: A couple was wounded after being shot by the girl’s father accompanied by four other men in the Shah Latif Town on Friday according to police, a local media outlet reported on Friday.
The couple had married out of their own volition a couple of years ago in Qambar district.
The indiscriminate firing led to Mohammad Yusuf and his wife Nawabzadi, in addition to their relatives Ahmed Khan and Mohammad Khan being injured. The victims were taken to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre for treatment.
