According to reports, police invaded the house to apprehend several individuals, but were shot at from within, resulting in deaths and injuries.

Shabir, Yarr Gul, and Abdullah have been identified as the victims.

To ascertain the facts, police authorities said they were documenting the accounts of eyewitnesses and the injured.

They claimed the shootout was triggered by a property dispute and that they were looking into the role of Joharabad police officers in the event. Brother of one of the injured informed the media that there was an ongoing dispute over the house ownership.
