Two dead in separate incidents

SWABI:

Tragedy struck in the Sherdara area as two separate incidents of targeted firing claimed lives amid ongoing local enmities.

In the first incident, cousins Kashif Khan and 31-year-old Saifullah Khan were returning home on a motorcycle after appearing in court. Near Taus Ghundai, they were ambushed by armed assailants, Fazl Aman, Shiraz Khan, and Fayyo Khan, who opened fire. Saifullah Khan was killed on the spot, while Kashif narrowly escaped. Police have registered a case at Parmoli Police Station, citing previous hostilities as the motive.

In a separate attack in Ismaila, Asif, son of Inayatullah, was reportedly shot by Amjad, Akbar, Haroon, and Luqman. He sustained critical injuries and later succumbed at Bacha Khan Medical Complex in Shah Mansoor. Authorities confirmed that prior enmity appears to be the driving factor behind both incidents. Investigations are ongoing.
