Groom shot dead over bus seat dispute

 



A wedding turned into a tragedy when a young groom was shot dead by one of the relatives of bride following a heated dispute over bus seating arrangements. The incident occurred in Daska on the day of the groom's walima (reception), leaving the families in shock and grief. Police have launched a manhunt for the accused, who fled the scene after the fatal shooting. According to police and eyewitness accounts, Javed Nasir alias Adnan, son of Muhammad Nasir and a resident of Dhidowali, was married to Alfa Sawaira, daughter of Riyasat Ali from the Mand area under Sitarah Police Station. On the day of the reception, family members were en route to the house of Alfa Sawaira's sister, who had also married the same day. During the journey, a quarrel broke out between Alfa Sawaira's brother and her cousin Muhammad Boota over seating in one of the wedding buses. As tensions escalated, the groom intervened. In an attempt to defuse the situation, Alfa Sawaira's father reprimanded Boota. The altercation turned physical, and Boota, along with his mother, was ordered to leave the vehicle. Humiliated, the two were left behind as the baraat proceeded. Enraged over the public humiliation, Boota returned home, retrieved a pistol and waited for the wedding party to return. Around 11:00pm, as the family arrived at their home, Boota ambushed and shot Javed Nasir multiple times. The suspect fled the scene, brandishing his weapon and shouting aggressively. Javed, critically injured, was rushed to Civil Hospital Daska and then referred to Gujranwala Hospital, where he succumbed to his wounds en route. In a shocking twist, the groom's father, Muhammad Nasir, alleged that his son's bride, Alfa Sawaira, and Muhammad Boota had been in a relationship and had wanted to marry, but were stopped by their families. He further claimed that while Javed lay injured, Alfa Sawaira took money and valuables from his pockets. Upon receiving information, SHO Adil Mustafa Bajwa of Sitarah police station arrived at the scene with a police team and launched an investigation. A case has been registered under sections 302, 34 and 109 of the Pakistan Penal Code against Muhammad Boota and unnamed accomplices.
