LAHORE: Amir Balaj Tipu, son of Arif Amir alias Tipu Truckanwala (goods transport network), was gunned down in what police described as a targeted attack near Lahore\u2019s Thokar Niaz Beg neighbourhood on Sunday, ARY News reported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to police, the incident occurred during a wedding ceremony in a residential society near Thokar Niaz Beg as armed assailant opened fire on Balaj Tipu, who recently joined Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), killing him on the spot.<\/p>\n

Two other individuals sustained bullet wounds during the gunfire, as confirmed by the police. Meanwhile, the police said the suspect was also killed in retaliatory firing by Tipu\u2019s gunmen.<\/p>\n

The police said they are diligently examining the circumstances leading to the attack and the possible motives behind it.<\/p>\n

Balaj Tipu was the son of Arif Amir \u2013 alias Tipu Truckanwala \u2013 who was also shot dead in the parking lot of the Allama Iqbal airport in 2010.<\/p>\n

The death of Balaj may trigger another chapter of bloody enmity which had started with the murder of his grandfather, Billa Truckanwala, in 1994.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
