LAKKI MARWAT: Two persons were killed and another received bullet wounds when two groups clashed over a minor dispute in Nawerkhel village here on Sunday.

Police said that the deceased were identified as Muzamil Khan from one side and Furqan from the other, adding that their bodies along with the injured Zeshan had been shifted to government city hospital. They said that both the groups confronted each other in the village and opened fire.

Police quoted a complainant as stating in the FIR that the accused persons, including Zeshan, Noman, Furqan and Irfan, wanted to compel his son, Muzamil, to sell narcotics for them. “On refusal they shot and killed him,” the complainant added.

Irfan from the other side lodged a separate FIR with Lakki police stating that the accused — Abdul Rehman, Nawab Khan and Ramzan — killed Furqan and injured Zeshan over a minor dispute.

Police said they arrested three nominated killers — Irfan, Nawab and Zeshan — from both the sides after registration of separate cases against them.

They said that the bodies were handed over to relatives for burial after fulfilling medico-legal formalities.
