Man shot dead by two nephews, his sister among 2 arrested: Police

As per the FIR registered at Baghpat’s Chandi Nagar police station, the victim, Inza-Mul-Haq was going to his shop along with his younger son Zubair (32) when his two nephews, Furqan (34) and Yaqub (37) intercepted them. An argument that ensued turned violent when the nephews started beating up their uncle after overpowering his son, it says. Their mother, Zaida (53), meanwhile, handed them country-made pistols and instigated them to kill him, the police said.

“We have been facing threats for the past few months. They (culprits) wanted my father to relinquish his claim on the family property but he did not budge. We had also informed the area police in this regard but no action was taken,” alleged Intaza-Mul-Haq, the victim’s eldest son (42), the complainant in the case.

“A dispute over a piece of land from the family’s ancestral property is the reason behind the killing. We are also investigating into thefamily’s claims,” said Additional SP (Baghpat) Manish Mishra.
