In Lahore, during a wedding celebration, Ameer Balaj Tipu, who owned a goods transport network, was shot and killed by an unknown person. This incident occurred in the Chung area. Balaj Tipu was the son of Arif Amir, also known as Tipu Truckanwala, who was killed in 2010 at Allama Iqbal Airport. This family has a history of being targeted due to an old feud.

The police said Balaj, in his early 30s, was attending a wedding when an armed man attacked him, leaving him critically injured. Three others with Balaj were also hurt, but the attacker was killed in return fire by Balaj’s security team.

All four were taken to Jinnah Hospital, where Balaj couldn’t survive his wounds. Doctors mentioned he had received four bullet wounds to his chest. Due to the family’s history of enmities spanning generations, police were on high alert at the hospital.
