MULTAN: A security guard on Sunday shot dead Assistant Medical Superintendent of Nishtar Hospital, and injured two others near the Chenab Hospital, Chungi No 1.

Rescue 1122 said security guard Rafiq Khan was living in the house of the AMS Dr Waseem Javed for past many years, and the latter now wanted to rent out his house but the former was not willing to vacate it.

However, Dr Waseem brought labourers to the house for repair and maintenance work, which irked the guard and he, after exchanging harsh words, shot the doctor and two others. As a result, Dr Waseem died on the spot while two others, Ikhlaq s/o Muhammad Ahsan and Pervaiz s/o Bahawal Bukhsh were injured.

A rescue team shifted the injured to the Nishtar Hospital, where they were said to be out of danger. The doctor’s body was also shifted to the hospital for autopsy. Police have started investigation into the incident.
