Aerial firing again – a young man dies in Hafizabad

HAFIZABAD (Web Desk) – Whatever we do, we can never escape death. But what is most tragic is the untimely death of a young man who must have big dreams for the future like others in this world.

When will Pakistanis learn? A ‘baraat’ procession at Hafizabad was about to leave for wedding when the participants resorted to aerial firing just like the old-age ludicrous custom in some areas of Pakistan. An 18 year-old young man was killed and another seriously wounded as a result of the firing.

In the town of Qazi Pura, the wedding of Waqas son of Abdur Razzaq was due to be held. ‘Baraat’ was about to leave when Mumtaz Haider Shah, bridegroom Waqas and three unknown persons started firing due to which Adeel Ahmad alias Sohan and Mudassar Iqbal of Rahmat Abad sustained serious injuries.

Adeel died on the way while being taken to hospital. Police has arrested the bridegroom Waqas while they have taken the car of Mumtaz into custody and arrests for more are in progress.

Police is further investigating the matter and trying to connect the dots.
