A youngster shot dead a girl and later committed suicide on Tuesday after girl family rejected his proposal for marriage in Muridke- tehsil of Sheikhupura district
According to police sources, the incident took place in the Purani Narang Chungi neighbourhood. Young man named Afzal, 22, reportedly was in love with one of his neighbours Maleeha, 17, for the last four years.
Some days back, he formally proposed her through some channel but the girl’s family refused to accept it with the objection that they could not do so because he did not belong to their clan. The denial infuriated Afzal who fired multiple shots at Maleeha who was standing outside her house. She was pronounced dead at the spot. Later, he also committed suicide.—INP
