Initial investigation by police suggests the family was gunned down over old enmity.

The provincial IGP, Rao Sardar, has taken notice of the incident and has asked the relevant officers to submit a report on the same.

The province's top cop said the investigation is being carried out and police are searching for the suspects.

Earlier in October, three suspects, including a woman, were arrested in the murder case of three brothers in Shahdara Town, Lahore.

The deranged suspects had opened fire after a brother of the three victims scolded a minor boy for sitting on the bonnet of his guests’ car parked outside his home.
