A man who was upset over his former fiancée’s marriage shot at her new husband in the wee hours of Sunday, but the suspect’s senseless attack not only injured the bridegroom but also left a minor boy dead.
Jackson police officials said that the newly married couple, the groom’s minor cousin, the bride’s friend and the driver were returning from the wedding hall in a car when the attack was carried out.
“The incident took place shortly after they had left the wedding hall and were on their way home after Rukhsati,” the groom’s father told the media. “The wedding guests had been setting off firecrackers in celebration when the assailant took advantage of the situation and fired a single shot.”

The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has once again launched a major operation to clear the massive Gujjar Nullah in the city’s District Central of encroachments.
The first phase of the operation will last about a week, during which soft encroachments will be removed. In the next stage the KMC will take around 10 days to demolish over 4,000 houses, commercial units and eight to 10 mosques situated on the storm water drain’s banks.
Almost every year before monsoon, the KMC with the help of the Sindh government and, sometimes, the federal government, and with the involvement of the Pakistan Army and the National Disaster Management Authority not only cleans the nullah but also removes soft encroachments, which include cow sheds, kiosks, tea shops and small-scale commercial units.
