But Ghulam Safdar refused to do so. Asad whipped out his gun and opened fire at him and ran away after riddling him with bullets.

The family informed the Nelore police about the incident and shifted the seriously injured man to Polyclinic where he succumbed to his injuries before any medical assistance. SP (Rural) Malik Naeem when contacted told this scribe that Ghulam Safdar owned huge property in and around Nelore.

“Akhtar, real brother of the deceased, Ghulam Safdar had also faced similar circumstances and was killed last year on property dispute,” SP Rural claimed.
