SARGODHA: Three members of a family were killed and six critically injured in a collision between two cars on Sunday night near 85 Jhal on Sillanwali Road, some 35 kilometers from here.

LAWYERS STRIKE: The Kot Momin Tehsil Bar Association members observed a complete strike on Monday as a protest for not arresting the suspect in the murder case of five people in Kot Momin and Madh Ranjha police precincts.

Around two weeks back, a suspect had killed the wife and mother of Maher Faisal Advocate, besides three others, with no arrest so far.

On Monday, the legal fraternity observed a strike against the police performance and demanded of the DPO for immediate arrest of the suspect.
