Later, they reached Jamra Stop near Lakhi Ghulam Shah and on that spot, the anti-encroachment official shot her in the head before committing suicide,” ASP Amjad. Pathan died on the spot while the seriously injured girl was shifted to Sukkur but succumbed to her injuries. Sources in the police also claimed that just before the incident, the couple was seen in a car roaming around in Lakhi Ghulam Shah – an area near Shikarpur.
