Akram and his wife Salma were on their way by a motorcycle (LKA-6961) when a speeding wagon (LHO-6886) hit them on Sialkot-Shakargarh-Noorkot Road near Afzalpura village. The couple died on the spot.

An unknown youth was crushed to death under the wheels of a speeding bus after falling from its roof near Noorkot.

A youth, Suhail Anjum, was killed when his motorcycle (LXJ-2049) collided with a wagon (MNK-5354) on Darman-Zafarwal Road. The deceased was performing one-wheeling.

Police have registered separate cases.

ARRESTED: The Motra police on Thursday arrested a drug pusher and recovered 125 grams of hashish from him in Jamkey Cheema village in Daska. Salahuddin was selling the narcotics when police caught him red-handed. Police are going into the matter.
