Multan: Pakistan’s Hindu community is in shock following the killing of a five-member family in mysterious circumstances in Pakistan on Friday. The members of the family were found dead with their throats slit with some sharp-edged weapon in their house in Abu Dhabi Colony, Chak No 135-P, 15-kilometre away from Rahim Yar Khan city, reported The News International.
Police have recovered murder weapons including a knife and an axe. Social activist Birbal Das in Rahim Yar Khan told The News International that Ram Chand was a Meghwal Hindu and he was 35-36 years old. He was running a tailoring shop for a long time. He was a peaceful man and living a happy life, and the incident was quite shocking for everyone.
The police have started an investigation after the brutal killing of a Hindu family. Pakistan’s Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has taken cognizance of the case and ordered the arrest of the culprits soon. However, attacks on Hindu and Sikh communities are common in Pakistan. Girls from minority communities are often abducted and forced to convert and marry. Last month, a policeman kidnapped a Hindu girl in Sindh province, forced her to convert to Islam and then married her.
