Habdaar Hussain Shah was sent to the gallows in Mianwali jail for murdering two brothers in the city, while Akraamul Haq was hanged in Attock jail for killing a three-year-old girl.
Further, Muhammad Amin was executed in Adiala jail and Riaz was hanged in Sargodha jail for being involved in different crimes.
Over 50 criminals have been hanged since the government lifted moratorium on death penalty in 2014 in the aftermath of the deadly Peshawar attack.
On March 30, the Home and Tribal Affairs Department of Balochistan had also issued black warrants for five condemned prisoners who are expected to be executed within a week in the central prison of Mach.
