According to an FIR registered by Sandalbar police under sections 324 and 34 of the PPC, complainant Muhammad Bakhsh, father of the injured teacher, stated that during a farewell party hosted by eighth-grade students, Raja Aoun Saeed asked his classmate, Mirza Muhammad Dawood, to fire at their teacher, Hafza Bibi (21).

A police spokesperson said the main suspects had been arrested, and raids were underway to arrest his accomplice. Police were investigating the motive behind the attack and the source of the weapon.

The suspect opened fire, seriously injuring Mudassar and Abdullah, the owner of an adjacent hotel.

Both were rushed to Gojra THQ Hospital, where Mudassar succumbed to his injuries. Abdullah was later referred to Faisalabad’s Allied Hospital.

He hit his NL-leading 27th home run in the win. Ohtani had previously participated in the Derby in 2021. Last season’s champion, Vlad...
