Sessions Court witnesses two deaths; gun trained on kin

They say blood is thicker than water. But is it really, particularly when even for the slightest comment or refusal one gets angry?

Two lawyers were killed on Tuesday when a person opened fire on them inside the Lahore Sessions Court complex.

According to a local channel, the deceased lawyers have been identified as Rana Ishtiaq and Owais. The gunman has been identified as Kashif Rajput.

Ishtiaq and the gunman are cousins. The latter gunned down the former over a family dispute, the police officials said.

Kashif, who was later arrested, is said to be a lawyer but the police are investigating the claim.

Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif took notice of the incident, seeking a report from the police.
