According to police, the armed men targeted Daro Khan and Abdul Aziz when they were going home in a car.

They said the attackers were riding two motorcycles and used automatic weapons for targeting the two brothers.

One of the brothers died on the spot as he suffered six bullet wounds and the other died in the hospital. He suffered six bullet injuries.

Daro Khan and Abdul Aziz, who once belonged to a banned organisation, had joined hands with the government last year, abandoning their fight against the state and surrendering their weapons to security forces.
