Three killed to avenge murder of YouTuber dacoit in Sadiqabad

RAHIM YAR KHAN: Three people were shot at and killed by dacoits in the Jamaldin Wali area of tehsil Sadiqabad near the Indus River, about 60 km from here, on Saturday noon.

Reports said Umar Lund and his two nephews were passing through the main bazaar of Shahpur when they were ambushed near Dodhay Wali Pulli. The attackers, alleged accomplices of deceased YouTuber dacoit Shahid Lund, opened fire, killing them on the spot.

According to local residents, Umar Lund had killed Shahid Lund in early November 2024 during a Lund clan gathering, and this attack was a revenge killing carried out by Shahid’s accomplices.

The incident has left residents in shock, as dacoits once again brazenly took the law into their own hands in a populated rural area near Jamaldin Wali.

Meanwhile, in a video message two accomplices of deceased Shahid Lund claimed responsibility for killing Umar Lund. Holding a G3 rifle of Umar Lund, the dacoits were seen in Katcha area and they said that they avenged the murder of Shahid Lund Jamaldin Wali is the hometown of PPP south Punjab President Makhdoom Ahmed Mehmood, and PPP MPA Mumtaz Chang has repeatedly raised concerns in the Punjab Assembly over the worsening law and order situation in the district.

Last week, police killed several dacoits near Katcha Machka who were involved in the killings of policemen.

According to a police spokesperson, the victims were identified as Umar Lund, Huzaifa Lund, and Khalid Dhanwani.

Rahim Yar Khan District Police Officer (DPO) Rizwan Umar Gondal took notice of the incident and deployed a heavy police contingent to the area.

DPO Gondal stated that initial findings suggest the incident was the result of old enmity, though another possible motive could be an honour-related dispute (Karo-Kari) involving Huzaifa Lund.

Ailing Pope Francis to embark on Asia trip, his longest ever, in September

Pope Francis will travel to Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste and Singapore from September 2-13, the Vatican said on Friday, announcing his first overseas trip of the year and the longest of his 11-year papacy. The Asia trip has been on the papal agenda for some time, but there had been doubts on whether the 87-year-old pontiff would embark on it given his increasing frailty, with a record of skipping engagements due to health problems. His last international journey was a two-day stay in Marseille, France in September. In November, he pulled out of a trip to the COP28 climate conference in Dubai because of a lung inflammation . Francis is now scheduled to be in Jakarta between Sept 3-6, Port Moresby and Vanimo between Sept 6-9, Dili September. 9-11 and Singapore Sept 11-13, his spokesman said in a statement. Vietnam, which had been suggested by the pope and Vatican officials as a possible further destination during the nearly two-week long Asia trip, was not mentioned. In ...

‘A war out there’: Maple Leafs survive shootout thriller in Utah

SALT LAKE CITY — Whew. They needed this one, even if they didn’t wholly deserve it. For a Monday night in Salt Lake City, the stakes felt unusually high for the sagging, road-weary Toronto Maple Leafs .  Heading into their inaugural game at Delta Center, the Leafs had dropped three straight, blown a couple leads, slipped out of first place, and  distracted  the fan base by propositioning their best player with a trade.  Worse: Their process hasn’t been tight for a couple weeks. Mistakes have crept in. Speed is giving their defence issues. And their razor-sharp goaltenders have begun to look human. Head coach Craig Berube held an intense team meeting Sunday, following Saturday’s 7-4 outclassing in Denver. Multiple players spoke up. Captain Auston Matthews said they’d reached look-in-the-mirror time. “The really bad games have a good way of being the biggest learning experiences,” thoughtful goaltender Joseph Woll said, following Monday’s slump-snuffing, nail-b...

A diary of (near) default - 2023 was a year of economic uncertainty in Pakistan

Despite having little in common, even our political parties could agree on one thing: Pakistan’s economic situation was dire in 2023. The year saw Pakistan go through a long and rocky road to finding some semblance of economic stability — if it can even be called that — while weathering political and social turmoil. Pakistanis also experienced a double whammy this year: the one-two punches of the worst economic crisis in decades and all-time high inflation. Add to that the gut punch of the aftermath of the catastrophic floods of 2022 began to settle in. Flood victims receive boiled rice from relief workers, after taking refuge on a motorway, following rains and floods during the monsoon season in Charsadda, Pakistan on August 27, 2022 — Reuters In 2023, according to the World Bank , over 39.4 per cent of the population fell below the poverty line, which means over 12.5 million people are living in meagre conditions. Additionally, 8.5 million people face acute food insecurity due ...
