The Dadu police have arrested five suspects.

SHOT DEAD: A villager was shot dead by five armed men over a land dispute in the Qasbo village, Johi taluka, on Saturday night.

The man killed was identified as Abdul Ghafoor Leghari, 35.

The Qasbo police, on the complaint of Mohammad Paryal, registered an FIR against Mithal, Rahib, Dito and two unidentified persons.

DEMO: A large number of councillors and residents staged a protest demonstration outside the press club here on Sunday against the taluka municipal administration.

Led by councillor Bashir Ahmad Bhatti, Majod Ghalloo and Sohail Dawach, the protesters said the municipal administration had not installed streetlights in the town which had led to an increase in theft incidents.
