Glasgow, Nov 25(ANI): A Glosgow- based couple was shot dead by 7unknown assailants in their car in Gujrat, Pakistan.
Saif Rehman, 31, and Uzma Naurin, 30, had planned to settle down in the United States, after the trip to Pakistan for Rehman's brother's wedding.
The couple, who were returning from a shopping trip, were reportedly accompanied by a driver, Rehman's sister and her two-year-old daughter when the attackers struck.
Rehman was killed on the spot, his wife was forcibly put into their vehicle and murdered at a nearby spot, and her dead body was dumped on the roadside.
Pakistani police are probing claims that the couple's in-laws have been unhappy over their marriage.
Sources said though Rehman's relatives were happy with the marriage, some Naurin's relatives disapproved of it, the Daily Mail reports.
Dunbartonshire- based Saif Ali, 30, who owns a mobile phone repair company, met Rehman over three years ago.
"It was a long-distance relationship between Saif and Uzma but they made it work really well. Saif had just got a visa to go to the U.S., so they were on the brink of a new life together when this happened," Ali said.
"I found out from Saif's brother when the killings happened on November 1 and couldn't believe it - I was shocked, angry and devastated because we were very close. Saif had been in Glasgow for six years and met Uzma at a friend's wedding four or five years ago," he added.
Ali said 'no words were exchanged' between Rehman and his unknown assailants.he Foreign Office refused to intervene in the case, as Rehman was a Pakistani national and Naureen was an American citizen. (ANI)
