Shaukat had also set aside 12 Katha lands for his own sustenance. This issue became a bone of contention between Ali, who is Ashraf’s son, and his grandfather.

The dispute escalated into a heated argument, ultimately resulting in Shaukat’s tragic demise.
The police have initiated an investigation into the matter and are actively trying to apprehend the accused. The motive behind the crime seems to be deeply rooted in the family’s property dispute. The incident has sent shockwaves throughout the region, leaving the community in a state of disbelief.
