ISLAMABAD: Three individuals, including a former bar president, lost their lives in Jhang when unidentified armed assailants opened fire on a vehicle along Gojra Road on Saturday.
The Punjab Inspector General of Police (IGP) acknowledged the incident and directed the Regional Police Officer to submit an immediate report.
Preliminary details suggest that former bar president Muneer Sadhana had just left his residence when two armed men on a motorcycle intercepted his vehicle and opened fire multiple times. Both Muneer Sadhana and his driver were killed on the spot.
Two bystanders were injured during the attack; one succumbed to their injuries after being admitted to the hospital, while the other is currently receiving medical care at the District Headquarters Hospital.
Authorities believe the attack may have been motivated by a long-standing feud, though investigations are ongoing. District Police Officer Bilal Iftikhar Kayani assured that the culprits would soon be apprehended and held accountable. The tragic event has sparked significant outrage within the legal fraternity.
Media reports highlight that FIFA had recently named Muneer Sadhana as acting chairman of the Pakistan Football Federation normalization committee following Hamza Khan’s departure from the PFF.
