His wife reported the incident, saying the family had no known enemies. In the second incident, 48-year-old Ashfaq was shot dead while returning from a doctor’s visit with his wife, who identified two alleged attackers and told Tordhir police that the killing was due to a “previous enmity.”

In the third case, 21-year-old Rehman Ali was found dead in a field, with the motive yet to be determined. Police have registered cases for all three incidents and initiated investigations.

In Bahawalpur, at least three people were injured when a car crashed into a tree on the Bahawalpur-Hasilpur Highway near Khanda Mor in Khairpur Tamewali tehsil. According to the Punjab Emergency Service (Rescue 1122), the accident occurred when the car, traveling at high speed, struck a roadside tree after the driver reportedly fell asleep.
