In a separate incident in November last year, a 31-year-old doctor named Tahir Ahmed was killed and three members of his family injured in an attack on their house in Punjab’s Nankana Sahib district.
According to an FIR, the attacker indiscriminately fired upon the family when the complainant opened his door to see his relatives off.
