Tragic Attack in Peshawar: Nine Family Members Killed Over Dispute

In Peshawar’s Badaber village, unknown attackers opened fire inside a house, killing nine family members, including four women and four children, and injuring others. The incident occurred on Tuesday, allegedly over a property dispute.

Police initially stated that the incident was due to monetary and property disputes between two families. However, Senior Superintendent Police (SSP) Operations Kashif Zulfiqar contradicted this, saying there was no monetary dispute between the parties. An investigation has been launched to determine the motives behind the attack.

Two teams have been formed to arrest the culprits, and the bodies have been sent to the hospital for post-mortem. The victims were identified as Naureen (wife of Ashfaq), Sidra (daughter of Amanat Ali), Hamida Begum (wife of Malak Aman), Alibaba (daughter of Muhammad Ashfaq), Akash (son of Muhammad Ashfaq), Tufail Afnan (son of Muhammad Ishaq), and Inkhat (son of Muhammad Ishaq). The injured included Saba (wife of Ishaq) and Iqra (daughter of Ishaq).

One of the injured women was rushed to Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar for medical attention. The police collected empty shells of cartridges and other crucial evidence from the crime scene. A case has been registered based on the report filed by the victims’ family members.

Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Investigation, Sahibzada Sajjad, announced that four teams, led by Superintendent of Police (SP) Saddar Circle, have been dispatched to track down and apprehend the criminals responsible for the incident. The motives and circumstances surrounding the incident will be revealed after a thorough investigation.
