Pakistani theatre actress Kismat Baig was shot yesterday in Lahore, Pakistan. She was allegedly returning home from performing in a stage play when some men in a car and motorcycle drove past her place of residence as she got there and opened fire at her, yesterday evening. She was reportedly shot eleven times in her legs, stomach and hands. She, along with her driver who was also wounded, were rushed to the hospital where the police reportedly stated that she was pronounced dead due to excessive bleeding. Her driver however, is reportedly stable. Police suspect that Kismat Baig’s estranged lover might have had a hand in the shooting but investigation is still going on. Officer Asghar Husain allegedly told reporters that it was a target killing. “The attackers were waiting outside the theatre and when she left for home they chased her,” he said according to a Bollywoodlife.com report. The same report states that the driver heard one of the gunmen say, ”Kismat now you will not be able to dance,” after which he started shooting at her legs. “Baig was targeted twice in the past by gunmen but escaped unhurt. Initial investigation reveals that she had relations with an industrialist of Faisalabad city. We will summon the industrialist and some family members of Kismat for interrogation and soon will reach the murderer,” Husain said. Her mother reportedly stated that the family had no enmity with anyone. The family allegedly also held demonstrations on Canal Road to protest against the murder where they sought the immediate arrest of the ‘goons’ involved in the murder of Kismat. - See more at: http://www.lightnepalvideo.com/videos/pakistani-stage-actress-kismat-baig-shot-11-times-in-her-legs-pronouced-dead/#sthash.qVHNcbKm.dpuf
