When they reached near village Karooli, Kallar Kahar, in a car (IDK-512), five persons identified as Naeem Shah, Khalid Shah, Ayub Shah, Nazim Shah and Khurram Shah opened fire on them, killing them on the spot.

The Kallar Kahar police shifted the bodies to the district headquarters hospital and registered a case against the accused. The police said the motive behind the killing was an old enmity.
