Violence in Khanewal: A Tragic Revenge Attack
In a shocking turn of events in Khanewal, a father was tragically shot dead and his young son severely injured in what police are calling a revenge attack. This incident unfolded in Basti Hussainabad, within the jurisdiction of the Kabirwala City Police Station. The details are chilling.
Khurshid Ahmad and his son, Ihsan Ahmad, were at home when five armed assailants, identified as Imran, Saifullah, Samiullah, and Dildar Dogar, forcibly entered their residence. Without any warning, they began firing indiscriminately. Khurshid lost his life on the spot, while his son suffered critical injuries. The motivation behind this brutal act stems from a long-standing family feud. Imran Dogar believed that Khurshid was responsible for the death of his uncle last year, a death rooted in yet another family dispute involving marriage.
The feud intensified after Khurshid and his son faced arrest related to the uncle’s murder but were eventually released on bail. In a desperate attempt to clear his family’s name, Khurshid even filmed a statement near the Kaaba, declaring their innocence. Yet, despite these efforts, resentment lingered, culminating in this heart-wrenching act of violence.
After the attack, the assailants fled, leading local police to register a case and initiate search efforts to locate the suspects. This tragic incident has ignited a wave of outrage, with grieving relatives staging a protest outside the Tehsil Hospital, demanding justice for Khurshid. District Police Officer Muhammad Ismail Kharrak has taken swift action by forming special teams, giving them a tight 24-hour deadline to apprehend the attackers.
This situation is a stark reminder of how old grudges can escalate into tragic outcomes, affecting entire families and communities. As news continues to develop, it is essential for us all to stay informed and engaged in discussions about safety and justice in our neighborhoods.
