ARIF WALA: A teenager was gunned down following an argument between him and two other people during a cricket match in Punjab’s Arif Wala Tehsil.

According to police, Abu Talha, a second-year student, was rushed to the hospital for treatment where he breathed his last on Thursday.

A case has been registered against two suspects for their alleged involvement in the murder and an investigation into the incident has been launched, said DPO Hafiz Khizer.
