Smelling the danger, the panicked robbers opened fire, killing Wali Mohammad and his neighbour Asif Imran at the scene and injuring Wali’s wife, daughter, son and four other members of his family.

However, the people caught robber Yasin and handed him to the police.

According to sources, Yasin identified his accomplices as Yousaf, Ashraf, Mohammad Ali, Shakeel, Iftikhar and Sharif of Lahore and Asif of Kasur.
