JACOBABAD: Several houses were set on fire in a village in Jacobabad following a dispute over a love marriage, leaving multiple families displaced, police said.
According to Jacobabad police, armed men carried out indiscriminate firing before torching houses in the village of Siddiq Arain. A terrorism case has been registered against 32 suspects, including 12 nominated individuals.
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) said the incident took place on May 5, adding that five suspects have already been arrested while teams have been formed to apprehend the remaining accused.
Initial investigations suggest the attack was carried out in retaliation for a couple from Siddiq Arain and Ghazi Khan Channa villages who had contracted a love marriage through a Hyderabad court.
The arson attack forced dozens of families to live under the open sky after their homes were destroyed. Authorities say efforts are underway to restore order and bring all perpetrators to justice.
