Real story behind killing of ex-Senate chairman's nephew

ISLAMABAD: An armed clash in Islamabad's sector F-10-3, which left the nephew of ex-chairman Senate dead and three others wounded, has turned out to be an outcome of quarrel between two girls on a social networking site.

In the night preceding Monday, an armed clash took place between two groups in Islamabad's F-10-3 sector. 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, some time later, an armed clash suddenly breaks out at another spot in the capital.

Geo News has found out the actual reason behind the feud: 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 on 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 on a hunt for Chaudhry Arshad and Nauman Khokhar.
