They sent Zubair inside the Kabir Nagar colony to identify the head warden's residence.Zubair returned soon after surveying the house and explained the layout to the attackers, police said, adding that he informed further that there were two street dogs outside the residence.Yasin, Abdullah, Misbah, Zoaib and Istkar then proceeded to the residence but stopped outside after spotting the two dogs. They fired about 10 rounds in the air and at the iron gate of the house before fleeing the spot, police said.Inadvertently, however, instead of firing at Head Warden's house at C-4/14, they ended up firing outside another house, which goes by the address C-4/6, police said, adding that they mistook the house as that of the head warden's as the two stray dogs were, by then, loitering outside the other house.The owner of C-4/6, whom the police identified as 32-year-old Asif, had absolutely no clue why his house was fired upon by the attackers. Two live rounds and 4 empty shells were found on the road outside his house, police informed.Subsequently, over the course of the investigation, the police nabbed all five accused in the firing incident.The police said they also recovered 3 pistols, 1 katta, and 10 rounds of ammunition. Both motorcycles on which the attackers arrived in the area were also recovered and impounded.Further investigation is underway, police said.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
