JUI-F Leader Mufti Kifayatullah Dies After Injuries in Malakand Family Shooting

Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) central leader Mufti Kifayatullah has died after succumbing to injuries sustained in a tragic family shooting incident.

According to police, Mufti Kifayatullah had been undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Islamabad, where he passed away on Thursday.

The incident took place two weeks ago in Malakand, when his son, Mutasim Billah, reportedly opened fire on family members inside their home. The attack left Mufti Kifayatullah seriously injured, while his two daughters and one son were killed on the spot.

Police said investigations into the case are ongoing, with the suspect’s motives still unclear. The incident sent shockwaves across the region, particularly among JUI-F circles and the wider political community, where Mufti Kifayatullah was regarded as an influential figure.

Condolences have poured in from political leaders, religious scholars, and community members, who remembered Mufti Kifayatullah for his role in local politics and religious affairs.

His death marks a tragic chapter for the family, already reeling from the earlier loss of three children in the same incident.
