One killed, two injured in separate incidents across Attock

ATTOCK, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 11th Jun, 2026) One person was killed and two others injured in three separate incidents reported from different areas of Attock district on Thursday, according to police and rescue sources.

In a targeted shooting incident within the jurisdiction of Attock City Police Station, unidentified armed assailants killed 58-year-old Asad Sadiq near Salar Chowk close to Zakariyya Mosque. Police said the victim was on his way home when a masked gunman opened fire and fled the scene. Authorities added that preliminary investigations suggest the killing may be linked to an old enmity, as the deceased had reportedly shifted from Shangla in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to escape previous rivalry.

In another incident, a hotel worker sustained burn injuries after a fire erupted in the kitchen of a hotel on Kamra Road, reportedly caused by a gas leakage.

The blaze was brought under control by Rescue 1122 teams, while the injured worker, identified as 32-year-old Khursheed, was shifted to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.

Separately, a man was injured in a road accident on the Attock–Fatehjang Road when his vehicle overturned and struck a roadside tree. Police said the driver, identified as 32-year-old Sadaqat Ali, lost control of the car, resulting in the crash. The injured were provided medical assistance at District Headquarters Hospital Attock. Police have registered separate cases and initiated investigations into all three incidents.
