LARKANA, Sept 2: A man killed his sister, a mother of five, and another man suspecting them of having illicit relations in the Phulpota village on the outskirts of Naudero, some 30 kilometre from here, on Sunday.
Reports said that Zahid Shaikh first killed Mazhar, son of Mohammed Punhal Shaikh, and then went to the house of his sister, Zahida Shaikh. As he entered the house shouting “kari, kari” he saw her sister having lunch with her husband, Shaman. She made a last effort to escape but by then his brother had opened fire after pushing her husband aside.
Mohammed Punhal, father of Mazhar Shaikh, registered an FIR at the Ketti Mumtaz police station against Zahid Shaikh insisting that his son was innocent while Shaman, Zahida’s husband, said that she was not ‘kari’.

STRIKE: The traders in Shahdadkot observed complete shutter-down and staged a procession on Sunday on the call given by the Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz (JSQM) in protest against long spells of power outages and low pressure of gas.
The procession marched on the main thoroughfares of the town before terminating at ‘Koto-Moto’ Chowk.
