In a tragic incident, a couple married for the past 25 years reportedly shot each other dead in Peshawar following a heated argument between the two. The incident took place in the jurisdiction of Budhbir police station in the Shahab Khel area of the provincial capital during which both pointed guns at each other. Police said Bakhsheesh, son of Haji Muslim, critically injured his wife Mismah after opening fire at her. The injured wife shot her husband dead on the spot in retaliatory fire. Mismah later succumbed to her wounds at a local hospital. However, police are also investigating the case from another angle as they suspect the son could be involved in killing his father to avenge his mother's death.
