Man kills brother-in-law in Gujranwala for ‘honour’

In Gujranwala, a man shot his brother-in-law dead for ‘honour’.

The murder led to a protest by deceased Qamar Abbas’s relatives who was 27 at the time of his death.

The protestors placed the dead body on the GT Road and blocked the Rahwali Chowk due to which there was a traffic jam on the road.

A heavy police contingent, led by the DSP, reached the site of the protest and started negotiations with the deceased’s relatives.

Negotiations were underway till last reports came in.
