LAHORE, April 4: Four people, including a lawyer, were shot dead over an old enmity on Raiwind Road in Sattukatla on Monday. Police said Advocate Tariq Majeed, 45, a former LHC bar office-bearer, along with his cousin, Shaukat Ali, and two gunmen Shaukat Dogar and Arif was on way to The Mall when a car intercepted them. Five men got off the vehicle and sprayed the lawyer’s car with a volley of bullets. They continued firing until they got assurance that all of its occupants had died.
