Soon after receiving information, a large contingent of police reached the crime scene and the shifted the bodies to a local hospital.
Honour killings as well as disputes and clashes over tribal and land issues are quite common in upper Sindh. Last week, a man and his son were shot dead at their residential property following an old rivalry in Shikarpur district.
The incident was reported at Mangat Wah – a village located within the precincts of Nabi Bakhsh Waggan police station. But one of the incidents that gained media attention was the killing of Dr Mohammad Ajmal Sawand, a teacher associated with the Institute of Business Administration. He was gunned down over “honour” in April this year.
