Ex-Senate chairman?s nephew shot six times: police

ISLAMABAD: The post-mortem report of the nephew former chairman Senate, Muhammad Mian Soomoro has revealed that he was shot six times.

According to the report Barrister Fahad Malik was killed from a gunshot to his right cheek.  Fahad Malik was killed during an armed clash between two groups in Islamabad’s F10/3 sector in the night preceding Monday.

The altercation was initiated at a coffee shop located in sector F-11 and the matter was taken to police, where it was resolved. But, sometime later, an armed clash suddenly broke out at another location in the capital.

Geo News discovered that the actual reason behind the feud was a quarrel between two girls on a social networking site.

The matter involves two groups, one that of Chaudhry Arshad, a property tycoon, and the other headed by Malik Tariq, which happens to be a major trade group of Islamabad.

The two girls involved in the matter belonged to either group. The two sides stayed in unison and were seen at parties together, but, then these two female associates had a heated argument on Facebook, which also dragged in others from either side.

The first altercation between the two groups took place at a coffee shop, but it was ended before the police.

Later, unknown men who arrived in eight vehicles, in support of Chaudhry Arshad's group, intercepted Malik Tariq in sector F 10/3 late on Sunday night. These men were brought by Nauman Khokhar, who is the son-in-law of an under custody accused Taji Khokhar.

The two sides exchanged fire on the spot resulting in the killing of Barrister Fahad Malik, nephew of ex-chairman Senate Muhammad Mian Soomro, who had arrived there for mediation.

Police have registered a case pertaining to the murder of Barrister Fahad Malik and are searching for Chaudhry Arshad and Nauman Khokhar.
