A group of lawyers blocked the Rawalpindi-Kohat road for several hours last year on July 27, 2023. They held strong protests for killing one of their colleagues. They held these protests against Attock police for failing to stop the targeted killing of lawyers in Pindigheb town.

This protest came as the second target killing of a lawyer in Pindigheb town. A shooter murdered a senior female lawyer named Kubra Sheikh in daylight.

Before Kubra Khan, Atif Ali Qureshi was shot dead by two masked men as he reached Khan Chowk. He was a former general secretary of the Pindigheb Bar Association.
