Three of them were taken to Lahore in critical condition while the remaining were hospitalised in Narang Mandi. The police started investigations.
ROBBERY: Three robbers stormed Muhammad Ali Waqas’ house in Al-Noor Colony here in Sadar police precincts, took the family on gunpoint and snatched gold jewellery and valuables worth thousands of rupees and fled. The police are investigating.
