LAHORE: The Defence C police lodged a case against two unknown motorcyclists for opening unprovoked fire on the DHA residence of supreme court lawyer Balakh Sher Khosa, the son of former governor of Punjab, Latif Khan Khosa.

In the FIR, Balakh Sher said two armed men arrived on a bike and tried to forcibly enter his residence.

He said the armed men later opened fire on the main entrance of his house and fled the scene, hurling life threats. He added that earlier in 2023, a similar incident had taken place. He asked the police to provide him security and initiate action to trace and arrest the unknown attackers.
