A recent firing incident at the ancestral home of Pakistan cricketer Naseem Shah is suspected to be linked to a property dispute, according to police investigating the case. The attack, which occurred in Lower Dir district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has caused significant concern in the region.

Despite the gunfire at his home's gate, Naseem continued to participate in the first ODI against Sri Lanka as no injuries were reported. Authorities are considering regional enmity or the area's security climate as potential factors behind the attack.
