Two dead in gunfight over 'runaway wife'
The second husband of a runaway wife shot dead her third husband in the Mohammad Khan Colony slum of Baldia Town on Wednesday.
Fuming with vengeance, stoked by his Pashtun pride, Sang Gul, a resident of Tank district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, had come searching for his wife, Nabeela Bibi, to Karachi, with his nephew Madho and other men.
A man named Saifur Rehman had brought her to Karachi and they were living in a predominant Pashtun neighbourhood which made it easy for Sang Gul to track them down.
According to reports a deadly shooting erupted inside a house in Baldia Town's Mohammad Khan Colony on Wednesday evening, leaving two men dead and two others - including a woman - injured. Police said the incident stemmed from a personal and family dispute involving the woman's former and current husbands.
According to police, the incident occurred near Route W-25 stop in Mohammad Khan Colony. Upon receiving reports of gunfire, Ittihad Town police reached the scene and shifted the bodies to Civil Hospital for legal formalities. The deceased were identified as 30-year-old Saifur Rehman and 28-year-old Madho.
The injured were identified as Nabeela Bibi — wife of the deceased Saifur Rehman — and Saif's brother Atiqueur Rehman.
DIG South Asad Raza confirmed that weapons were recovered from the scene. Initial investigation indicates that the clash was a result of an ongoing personal feud between the two parties.
Police said that Saifur Rehman had brought Nabeela Bibi, a married woman, from Tank district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to Karachi. Later, Nabeela's second husband, Sang Gul, arrived in Karachi with several men, including his nephew Madho, to take her back.
The confrontation turned violent and escalated into a gunfight inside the house. Both Saifur Rehman and Madho were killed in the exchange, while Nabeela and her brother were seriously injured.
SHO Ittihad Town Rao Shabbir said that this was Nabeela's third marriage, and the second deceased — Madho — was the nephew of her second husband. The remaining assailants, including Sang Gul, fled the scene after the shooting. Police have launched a manhunt to arrest the absconders.
It was unclear whether Sang Gul had divorced her or she had eloped with Saif, police said.
Meanwhile, the Crime Scene Unit arrived at the spot, collected evidence, and sealed off the area. Police are recording statements from the injured and continuing the investigation.

Four injured in attack on FBR team
A group involved in the sale of non-custom paid foreign cigarettes attacked a team from the FBR and Customs Inland Revenue in the Ganjmandi area of Rawalpindi, injuring four officials before fleeing the scene. A case has been registered. According to police, Assistant Director Shujaat from the Regional Tax Office stated that while patrolling in the Namak Mandi area, a suspicious vehicle was stopped and found to be loaded with illegal foreign cigarettes. As no one claimed ownership of the vehicle, officials began transferring the cigarettes into a government vehicle. At that moment, around 30 to 35 individuals, appearing to be of Pashtun origin and reportedly coming from Bajaur Plaza, launched a violent attack on the team. More than 10 of them were armed with iron rods. During the assault, an officer named Imran sustained a severe head injury, the government vehicle's windows were smashed, and the attackers took the cigarettes before escaping. The suspects are believed to be linked to shopkeepers at Bajaur Plaza, including a man named Zar Gul. Police said the attackers can be identified if presented. A case has been registered under multiple sections, including attempted murder, obstruction of official duty, assault, and damage to government property.

Khuzdar attack on school van: Forces vow to ‘relentlessly pursue' culprits
KARACHI: Security forces on Wednesday vowed to 'relentlessly pursue' the culprits of the attack on a school bus in Balochistan's Khuzdar, leaving three children among five dead and several others injured. A statement by the Prime Minister's Office, issued after PM Shehbaz Sharif's one-day visit to Quetta following the incident, said, 'Pakistan's security forces and law enforcement agencies will relentlessly pursue all those involved in this barbaric act. 'The architects, abettors, and enablers of this crime will be held accountable and brought to justice and the truth about India's cunning role, a real perpetrator of terrorism but feigns as a victim, stands exposed before the world.' The statement detailed the incident, claiming the act was carried out by 'state-sponsored proxies of India (Fitna al Hindustan)' and added that 'dastardly terrorist incidents' were being orchestrated through proxies in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 'deliberately targeting civilians in a futile attempt to destabilise Pakistan'. At least 3 children among five killed in Khuzdar school bus attack Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir also visited Quetta to meet the victims of the attack along with the prime minister, the statement added. Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti and the Quetta Corps commander briefed the visitors about the incident, which led to the 'martyrdom of three innocent children and two soldiers', as well as 53 others injured, including 39 children, eight of whom were in critical condition, the statement added. The visitors expressed grief over the loss of lives, condemning the 'shameful and despicable act'. The statement said that the terrorist groups were 'not only being exploited by India as instruments of state policy but also stand as a stain on the honour and values of the Baloch and Pashtun people, who have long rejected violence and extremism. 'India's reliance on such morally indefensible tactics, particularly the deliberate targeting of children, demands urgent attention from the international community.
