Ameer Balaj Tipu, a prominent figure in Lahore's underworld and owner of a goods transport network, was shot dead in a wedding ceremony in Pakistan's Lahore city on Sunday.

Police have described the incident as an instance of targeted killing.

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, reported ARY News.

Police said two other persons received bullet injuries during the attack.

Police said the suspect was killed in retaliatory firing by Tipu’s gunmen.

Police are trying to find the circumstances under which the incident took place.

Who is Ameer Balaj Tipu?

Ameer Balaj Tipu is the son of Arif Amir who is also known as Tipu Truckanwala.

Arif Amir was shot dead in the parking lot of Allama Iqbal airport in 2010.

The death of Balaj may trigger another chapter of bloody enmity which had started with the murder of his grandfather, Billa Truckanwala, in 1994, reported ARY News
