KHANEWAL, July 15: Two unknown motorcyclists killed on Sunday two businessmen and injured another in a Kabirwala market.

Police said the gunmen sprayed bullets at Malik Mahboob Yazdani sitting in his mobile phone shop in Sadat Market, killing him on the spot.

Also present in the shop were Imran Gardezi, the son of market owner, and Sheikh Abu Bakar, who sustained serious injuries.

They were shifted to the THQ Hospital, Kabirwala, from where they were referred to the Nishtar Hospital, Multan, but Abu Bakar could not survive. Reports said that soon after the occurrence, other businessmen tried hard to contact police on emergency 15 but no one attended the calls.

The business community of Khanewal and Kabirwala pulled down their shutters in protest to mourn the killings and press police to arrest the assailants.

Khanewal DPO Shahid Hanif said that there was a dispute between Mauhana and Sinpal families of Kabirwala after a member of the Mauhana family lured a girl of the other clan.

ARRESTED: Khanewal police claimed to have busted Ramzan Bana gang involved in robberies.

DPO Shahid Hanif said that Bana gang had also committed dacoities in the houses of Dr Shabbir Ahmad at Madina Town and M Hanif in Haibat Kot.
