Asad Khokhar, a previous minister for fisheries, was just re-inducted into the cabinet of Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar.

Punjab CM Usman Buzdar was also attending the walima ceremony of Asad Khokhar’s son Hussain Khokhar and the firing incident took place soon after he departed the venue.

Asda Khkhar’s brother Mubashar Khokhar got severely injured during the firing and was later succumbed to his injuries.

According to reports, the attackers succeeded despite a strong security presence and the old enmity has been supposed behind the incident. The police have arrested the attacker identified as Nazim.
