He believed that his brother deceased Mohd Aslam was going to water source every day at 4 a.m and he (accused) wanted to seize an opportunity to kill the deceased on his way to water source. The deceased reached there alongwith his brother-in-law Rayaz Ahmed at about 4.15 a.m. The accused shot him and the bullet hit the hand of the deceased Mohd Aslam. The pot and the torch he was having fell on spot and deceased fled away. He reached the house of PW Bashir Ahmed. Accused chased him and fired another bullet on him which hit the deceased Mohd Aslam who fell down on the balcony of the house of PW Basher Ahmed. PW Rani Begum W/O Basher Ahmed on seeing all this raised an alarm when the daughter Rukhsana Akhtar and wife Shakila Begum of deceased Mohd Aslam came running on spot. The accused shot the wife of deceased from behind. She continued to run fast but the accused fired another bullet on her and thereafter a third one also from behind. She also fell down and died. So accused committed two murders in quick succession. Principal Sessions Judge Udhampur AK Koul after hearing Public Prosecutor Navneet Gupta for the state and Adv Ch.
