Two death row convicts were sent to the gallows early Thursday morning in the Faisalabad Central Jail.
Shoukat and Ikhlaq had been charged with killing two real brothers Tariq Javed and Zafar Iqbal inside a court building in 2001.
Meanwhile, a dacoit was killed in an alleged encounter with a police party on Thursday.
Reportedly, a police team tried to chase down two robbers who were escaping after looting a house on Maqbool Road. When the police party stopped robbers in the limits of the Batala Colony Police Station, they opened fire at them. As the attack was repulsed, one of the dacoits was killed and the other injured.
The injured robber was arrested while the body of the dead was shifted to a hospital for medico-legal formalities.
