Warsak Superintendent of Police Mukhtiar Khan said people from one party were returning from a wedding ceremony when they faced the other party that was present near a bridge. He said there was a subsequent exchange of fire that left five dead and six injured. “As per our information, they had a past conflict and there was personal enmity between the parties over property and previous murders,” the SP said, adding that the police were determining how many people were targeted from each side. He added that no arrests were made so far. Last month, , including three of a family and two passers-by, were killed when they came under fire near Academy Town.
