FAISALABAD: Unidentified assailant shot dead two car riders including former president District Bar Association (DBA) Faisalabad Chaudhry Naveed Mukhtar Ghumman in the area of Batala Colony police precincts.
A spokesman for police said here on Tuesday that two armed motorcyclists intercepted a car with registration number LEB-7696, near Gol Masjid, LCM School Sammundri Road, and opened indiscriminate fire on the vehicle.
As a result, Ch Naveed and car driver Binyameen received bullet injuries and died on-the-spot, whereas the accused managed to escape from the scene.
The lawyer community protested against killing of the ex-DAB president in broad daylight on a busiest road of Faisalabad and boycotted the court proceedings.
