CHARSADDA, Oct 14: Four people were killed in two different incidents in Charsadda on Friday.

In the first incident, a girl and her mother were killed and three other members of their family suffered injuries after the roof of their house in Shabqadar collapsed due to heavy rain.

Soon after the roof collapse, neighbours rushed to the house and pulled out the bodies of Hameedullah's wife and child besides the wounded Hameedullah and his daughters Sidra and Sana.

The wounded were shifted to the hospital.

In the second incident, two people were killed and one injured in exchange of fire between rival groups over a land dispute in Daman Thana. The dead were Imtiaz and Taskin Shah, while the wounded was identified as Lehaz Gul.

The police registered a case against the two groups. CORPORAL PUNISHMENT:

Corporal punishment by teachers on Friday wounded two schoolchildren in Charsadda.

Asghar Ali, a grade 8 student of a private school, complained that head master Mukkaram Khan subjected him to corporal punishment on failure to perform well in tests, adding that the punishment left him injured.

In another incident, Sheraz, a grade 3 student, was beaten up by his schoolteacher, Iqbal, so much that his arm fractured. —Correspondent
