Two groups clash: 6 injured in Raiwind main bazaar
Five shopkeepers and security guard die as two groups of Anjuman Tajiran open fire at each other.
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.
