Khawaja Tareef’s brother-in-law, Muhammad Javed Butt, was killed by gunfire close to the Muslim Town underpass in Lahore.
Javed Butt was killed in the shooting that took place on Sunday night, while his wife was injured by gunshots and taken to the hospital for treatment.
The event occurred within the area under the jurisdiction of the Achhra Police Station. The investigation was started by SP Model Town, Ikhlaq Ullah Tarar, with a significant police presence at the scene.
Authorities have verified that Javed Butt’s daughter, who was present in the vehicle during the shooting, was not injured. Authorities have initiated an inquiry into the shooting, concentrating on potential reasons for the attack.
The unfortunate event brings another level of complication to the continuing inquiry of the Amir Balaj homicide, with Teefi Butt still being the main suspect.
Earlier, Muzzafar Hussain, an elderly hitman working for Khawaja Tareef, murdered Ameer Balaj Tipu during a wedding event in a residential area due to a feud that had been ongoing for 30 years. Muzzafar was killed right after Tipu was murdered.
Further inquiry unveiled that Ahsan, a friend of the victim, had given crucial details to the assailants, making the homicide possible. In a related update, a recording emerged of Ahsan Shah planning to kill a police officer while he was incarcerated. The recording exposed his plans to depart the nation and deal with the officer before escaping.
The investigation is being supervised by DSP Muhammad Ali Butt and DIG Imran Kishwar of the Lahore Organised Crime Unit. Officials are also seeking red warrants to apprehend the primary suspects Khawaja Tareef (Teefi Butt) and Khawaja Aqeel (Gogi Butt), who have been declared as fugitives.
