A senior police officer said the two sisters, Kulsooma, 19 and Yasmin, 17 had been forced out of their home at gunpoint by some unidentified gunmen.
"The two sisters were later shot at point blank range and their bodies were recovered some distance away from their home," the officer said.
The incident triggered panic in the area. Senor police and security force officers rushed to the spot.
