Islamabad: In a harrowing incident in Sheikhupura, Pakistan, a family fell victim to a gruesome attack as at least four of its members were brutally murdered using a sharp tool, while another family member sustained injuries. The victims, including 80-year-old Shah Muhammad, his 62-year-old wife Ushra, their 18-year-old daughter Kiran, and 8-year-old grandson, were subjected to this heinous crime in the Saddar Police Station area of Sheikhupura. The local authorities, upon receiving information about the incident, promptly arrived at the scene, and investigations are currently underway to unravel the motive behind this horrific act and bring the perpetrators to justice.

This tragic event follows another violent episode in Ghotki, where armed assailants targeted Jam Bajar village, resulting in five fatalities and two injuries. The police have identified an ongoing feud between two clans as the cause of this violent clash. The attackers specifically aimed at a communal gathering place known as a "Bethak" in the village. Ghotki and surrounding districts have been grappling with lawlessness, primarily due to their proximity to the Katcha area, infamous for criminal activities conducted by bandit gangs enjoying the support of influential tribal leaders.

The historical prevalence of bandit gangs involved in various criminal activities, including kidnappings for ransom, has created an environment of insecurity in the riverine forests of Sindh and the southern belt of Punjab. Local authorities are actively engaged in addressing these security challenges, aiming to restore law and order in the affected regions and bring an end to such heinous acts of violence.
