Attock: A rickshaw driver killed a young man and seriously injured his father after a dispute over a fare in Attock's Awam Sharif area.

According to details, the incident occurred when Kashif, a young man, paid the rickshaw driver 200 rupees for the ride to the hospital, but the driver demanded 500 rupees. When Kashif refused to pay the extra amount, the rickshaw driver initiated an argument.

The dispute between the two was resolved by local residents, but later, the rickshaw driver, Umar, along with his accomplice Shano, attacked Kashif with knives near his house.
