Hassan and Khalil groups had an argument a few days ago over a motorcycle race near Baldia Chowk.

Late on Saturday, one group located the other at old lorry adda and both opened fire on each other. Old lorry adda is in the heart of the city and always bustling with people. Panic spread when both groups exchange fire.

Seven people, including Malik Nazim, Malik Farooq, Mahmood Jutt, Rao Samay, Ahmed, Waqas and Toqeer, suffered injuries and were rushed to DHQ Hospital.
