The man, 45-year-old Mubashir, shot and killed his seven-year-old daughter Manahil Emaan, six-year-old Fatima, three-year-old Zain, six-year-old Hashir and his sister-in-law Muqaddas.
Local police started investigating the murders after being informed about the incident by family members. The bodies were shifted to the local hospital for post-mortem.
