A sessions court in Sukkur has sentenced a father and son to 11 life terms each for the brutal murder of 11 members of their own family. The verdict was announced by the Additional Sessions Judge in a case that has haunted the Pano Aqil community for five years.
The convicted individuals, Wahabullah Indhar and his son Kaleemullah Indhar, were found guilty of slitting the throats of their family members in a shocking and violent incident. Three other accused in the case were acquitted due to insufficient evidence.
The victims included Wahabullah’s wife, Ruqayya, and their children: Iqra (18), Isra (8), Sariya (6), Hajani (5), Asad (4), and Ahsan (3). The killings also claimed Wahabullah’s daughter-in-law, Naseema (19), granddaughter Nazia (3), and his one-year-old grandson, Ali. The horrifying nature of the crime, which targeted women and children, has left a deep scar on the local community.
Following the massacre, the police arrested Wahabullah and his four sons. The case proceeded through a lengthy investigation and trial, ultimately leading to the convictions of Wahabullah and Kaleemullah while the remaining three accused were acquitted. The court’s decision of handing down 11 life sentences each reflects the severity and premeditated nature of the crimes committed.
Authorities have emphasized that the verdict serves as a warning against such extreme acts of violence, highlighting the commitment of law enforcement and the judiciary to deliver justice, even in cases involving close family members.
The Sukkur sessions court’s ruling concludes one of the most tragic and shocking cases in recent years in the region, bringing a sense of justice to the surviving relatives and community members who had been traumatized by the brutal incident. The case has drawn attention nationwide due to the scale of the tragedy and the shocking familial betrayal involved.
