A 52-year-old man was arrested by Kalapathar police on Monday for allegedly opening fire over property dispute.
The accused, Syed Habeeb Hashmi, a arms licence holder from Bilal Nagar, aimed at his wife and son, and fired three rounds. The incident took place in the little hours of Monday and the mother-son duo managed to escape unhurt.
Habeeb’s 27-year-old son Syed Omer Hashmi informed police that the former was addicted to alcohol and used to quarrel with his mother Tahera Begum and other family members.
“For the past few days, he was threatening us to show the house documents to sell it, in which our whole family resides,” Omer told police in his complaint copy.
