\u201cAt around 11am today, 45-year-old Gulshan Rashid was burnt to death after her brother-in-law, Dilawar, set her on fire. Her teenage daughter, Asma, and son, Ahmed Rashid, also sustained burn injuries in Korangi,\u201d Awami Colony police Station House Officer Mohammed Saud told Dawn.com.<\/p>\n

The victims were moved to the Burns Centre of Civil Hospital Karachi, where Gulshan was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
The officer said the condition of her daughter was also critical while her son sustained minor injuries, attributing some \u201cfamily dispute\u201d as a probable motive for the attack but did not elaborate on it.<\/p>\n
The SHO said that the victim\u2019s husband Rashid Khan had verbally told the police that his elder brother Dilawar was involved in this \u201cgruesome incident\u201d, however, the police were waiting for him to formally lodge a first information report (FIR) to initiate legal proceedings.<\/p>\n
The Crime Scene Unit of the police has collected evidence from the spot.<\/p>\n
In a separate incident in Steel Town, a policeman was shot dead while his wife was injured over some personal enmity, police claimed.<\/p>\n
Malir Superintendent of Police (SP) Saeed Rind told Dawn.com that \u201cKhameso Jokhio, 40, was murdered by unknown suspects inside his flat while his wife, Raeesa Jokhio, 30, was injured.\u201d<\/p>\n
The victim was posted at Steel Town, SP Rind said.<\/p>\n
He said that the police had a \u201csignificant clue\u201d about the identity of the alleged killer who was a close relative of the injured woman.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe woman had significant property and the alleged suspect wanted to usurp it and for this, the suspect carried out this heinous crime,\u201d the SP said, adding that the body and the injured were moved to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
