The two groups, identified as Mian Mubashir group and Nawaz Kasai group, reportedly opened fire near Jamia Masjid in the main bazaar, killing five shopkeepers and a security guard.
Just a few days ago, on July 17, security forces had killed two militants and overrun their hideout located within a few kilometres of the premier’s family home in Raiwind in a 10-hour long shoot-out.
According to intelligence officials, both militants had hailed from district Okara and received training from Miramshah.
