HARIPUR: A university teacher was gunned down in the Sera-e-Saleh police jurisdiction.

On Tuesday, he was heading home in his car after Maghrib prayers when Mughal Khan, Mubashar Khan, Basharat Khan, Khurum Khan and Humayun Khan allegedly opened fire on him.

The victim died on the spot. The complainant said the murder was the result of an old family feud between two families.
