KOHAT: A man and his young son were killed when their rivals ambushed their car in Togh Bala town on the Rawalpindi highway here on Tuesday.

“Abid Khan and his son, Nasir Kamal, were coming back home from courts after attending a hearing when their rivals, Asmatullah and Matiullah, who are brothers, allegedly opened indiscriminate fire on their car,” Ammad Khan, another son of Abid, said.

He said that they had an old enmity with the killers, who took revenge when his father and brother were not expecting it.

A police team arrived at the scene and took the critically injured persons to the KDA Teaching Hospital, where they succumbed to their wounds.

The police said that both the accused fled the scene after committing the double murder.

The police registered an FIR against the two brothers, and started making efforts to arrest them.
