LAHORE – A 19-year-old youth was killed, shortly after his father resorted to aerial firing at a wedding party here in Green Town area, police said on Wednesday.

The youth, identified as Jaan Masih, sustained a bullet injury and was rushed to a local hospital where doctors pronounced him as dead. Earlier, as the Baraat of Raheel Masih arrived, many participants started aerial firing. The situation changed altogether as people were seen weeping and screaming soon after the death.
