LAHORE: A PTI lady councillor candidate was allegedly gunned down on Saturday by her brother-in-law in the area of Farrukhabad near Shahdara, said the police officials.

According to them, Shahida Parveen was killed by her brother-in-law, Gulzar, and his three accomplices when she was sleeping in her house.

The police said they are conducting raids for the arrest of killers.
