Doctor shot dead

A private medical practitioner Dr Akhtar Hussain was shot dead by two masked assailants on a motor cycle in Seetal Marri area on Wednesday night. "It might be an outcome of old enmity, and we have taken a number of relatives and suspects in our custody for interrogation and we would arrest the real culprits very soon," DPO Multan Sikandar Hayat said. The attackers called Dr Akhtar Hussain at 0230 am pretending as patients.
As soon he opened the door, the assailants fired at him and fled away. Other inmates of nearby residences when heard the firing saw two masked men making their good escape from the scene on a motor cycle. The body of Dr Akhtar Hussain was handed over to his relatives after post-mortem on Thursday. The people of the area largely attended his funeral prayer.
