OKARA: Up to 14 gunmen killed a man by running him over with a tractor in Rajowal on Friday.

According to the police, Wajid and his elderly father, Attique Rehman, were on their farm when 14 assailants arrived on three tractors and forcefully began ploughing their land with an intention of occupying it.
