The injured were rushed to the Services Hospital. The incident took place on Main Ferozpure Road.

Police said the victim identified as 45-year-old Mumtaz Bibi had reached the Camp Jail to receive her husband Zulfiqar Ali who was released from the jail.

Unidentified car-occupiers intercepted their rickshaw and opened fire. The firing left Mumtaz, Zulfiqar, and their daughter Iqra, rickshaw driver Ghulam Rasool and three passers-by with multiple gunshot wounds.

The bullets fired by the suspects also damaged rickshaw. The suspects fled the scene. 

Preliminary police investigations show that Mumtaz's husband was imprisoned in a murder case. Zulfiqar suspected involvement of complainant Tanveer and Azhar Khan in the firing incident.
