A man was shot dead and another injured during a confrontation over a domestic dispute in the Bihar Colony area of Lyari, Karachi, police confirmed on Sunday.

Initial reports stated that the incident took place inside an apartment in the Ali Arcade building. The deceased was identified as Saif-ur-Rehman, and the injured man as Adnan, police said.

According to the officials, Adnan had arrived at his in-laws’ residence with his friend Saif-ur-Rehman to resolve a dispute with his wife, who had returned to her parents’ home. During the visit, an argument broke out between Adnan and his brother-in-law, Shahid.

Police claimed Shahid reportedly opened fire during the altercation, resulting in the death of Saif-ur-Rehman and injuries to Adnan. The suspect fled the scene immediately after the shooting.

Law enforcement shifted the body and the injured to the Civil Hospital for medico-legal procedures and treatment.

The crime scene unit was called to collect evidence, and a case is being registered.

Police have launched an investigation and are conducting raids to apprehend the suspect.

Statements from eyewitnesses and family members are also being recorded to determine the sequence of events.

Two teenaged brothers have brutally murdered both their mother and sister in the name of so-called ‘honor’ on __ in Lahore’s Kahna,  leaving the entire community in disbelief.

The victims — Rukhsana and her daughter Ramsha — were killed with a sharp-edged weapon. Police have confirmed that the attack was so brutal that both women died on the spot.

According to officials, the suspects — 15-year-old Ali Hassan and 17-year-old Zain — committed the heinous act with the assistance of their father, Yousuf. The murders took place in the Suay Asil area, and all three suspects were arrested by police within an hour of the crime.

DIG Operations Faisal Kamran has taken notice of the case, instructing police to lodge an FIR on behalf of the state and to investigate the matter with utmost seriousness.

It is important to note that just two months ago, a case had been registered after the mother and daughter allegedly ran away from home. They had only returned a day before the attack — and were tragically killed soon after by the teenage boys.

Habibullah admitted under questioning that he attacked Sharif after he physically assaulted his sister.

A female police officer in Lahore has been arrested after a 9mm pistol linked to a robbery was allegedly recovered from her residence, raising serious concerns about internal accountability within the force.

The arrest took place under DIG Operations Faisal Kamran’s zero-tolerance policy, which focuses on eliminating misuse of authority, corruption, and disorder within police ranks.

The officer, Sub-Inspector Sania, was serving as the Station House Officer (SHO) of the Lytton Road Women Police Station at the time of her arrest.

According to a spokesperson for Lahore Police, the pistol was discovered during a raid at her residence. The operation was launched after a suspect, currently under investigation, confessed during interrogation that the weapon used in multiple street crimes in the Kahna area was in the possession of a policewoman.

Acting on this information, a police team raided Sania’s house and recovered the firearm.

Following an internal inquiry, the DIG ordered her immediate arrest and directed officials to register a case against her.

DIG Faisal Kamran emphasised that the department is committed to strict accountability.

“No one involved in wrongdoing will be spared. Accountability will continue under our policy of fair reward and punishment,” he said.

The arrest has stirred discussions around internal discipline and the importance of holding law enforcement officers to the highest standards of conduct.
