RAWALPINDI:
Police have registered a case over the double murder, which took place during a jirga in Gulistan Colony, an area that falls under the jurisdiction of the Civil Lines police station in Rawalpindi.
The case is brought against three brothers.
According to the police, the complainant, Jameel Akhtar, stated that he is a resident of Sood Gangal and is a government employee. He said his son, Siyam Butt, told him that due to a misunderstanding, a dispute had arisen between him, his friend Usman Zaheer, and Sabtain Butt, Hasnain Butt and Hassan Butt. To settle the matter, it was decided that he and his brother would visit Hassan Butt and others, while Usman Zaheer would also be accompanied by his uncle.
The complainant said they reached Lane Three, Gulistan Colony where all three brothers were present. The accused alleged that some numbers belonging to the Butt family were stored in the mobile phones of his son and Usman Zaheer.
During discussions, the misunderstanding was resolved after which the complainant and Shakeel stepped outside the office.
A short time later, Siyam and Usman Zaheer also came out, followed by Sabtain Butt and his two brothers. Sabtain allegedly instructed Hassan Butt and Hasnain Butt not to let Siyam and Usman leave alive, whereupon both opened fire. As a result, Siyam and Usman Zaheer sustained critical injuries and died on the spot.
The three accused managed to escape from the scene.
The police have registered a case and started an investigation; however, no arrests have been made so far.
