In the bustling city of Lahore, a tragic incident unfolded at a private housing society in the vibrant neighbourhood of Chung. It was here that 32-year-old Ameer Balaj Tipu lost his life in a brutal attack that shocked the local community.

Background of the Feud

The feud between the two prominent underworld families, the Khawaja Aqeel alias Gogi Butt and Khawaja Tareef alias Teefi Butt, has been a dark cloud looming over the walled city for over three decades. This latest incident involving the murder of Ameer Balaj Tipu is just another chapter in the long history of violence between these rival factions.

History of Violence

The Tipu family has been a target of the Butt brothers for years, with Ameer Balaj’s father, Arif Amir alias Tipu Truckanwala, falling victim to their wrath in a brutal murder at the Allama Iqbal International Airport parking lot back in 2010. Khuram Butt, currently serving a life sentence for the crime, was identified as the triggerman in this heinous act.

Ameer Balaj himself had narrowly escaped death on multiple occasions, including a previous attack outside the civil courts in Lahore where he was gravely injured and lost five of his guards. The Butt brothers, along with former inspector Abid Boxer, were also implicated in this incident.

Recent Attack

The recent attack on Ameer Balaj Tipu took place as he attended a wedding ceremony in the peaceful surroundings of the private housing society in Chung. As guests were bidding farewell to the newlyweds, tragedy struck when an unidentified assailant approached Balaj under the guise of taking a selfie and then opened fire, causing chaos and claiming the life of the young man.

Despite the presence of guards, friends, and hosts, Balaj was unable to escape the fatal shots fired by the attacker. The incident left a somber atmosphere hanging over the once joyful occasion, as the community grappled with the senseless act of violence.

Conclusion

The city of Lahore mourns the loss of Ameer Balaj Tipu, yet another victim of the longstanding feud between the Khawaja Aqeel alias Gogi Butt and Khawaja Tareef alias Teefi Butt families. As the investigation into this tragic incident continues, the community remains on edge, wary of further violence erupting between these rival factions.
