CHINIOT, Aug 20: A woman was killed while four others were injured seriously in a grenade attack on their houses in Mohallah Green Town here on Monday. It is alleged that some women were running brothels near railway track behind the Wapda House. Some attackers threw hand-grenades at the houses which exploded with a bang. One of the two houses was totally demolished.
Razia, wife of Maqbool, died on the spot while Sughra, Haleema, Abida and Rabia Basri wounded seriously. They aged between 40 and 45 years.
Edhi ambulances ferried the injured to local THQ Hospital.
An injured woman claimed that one of her ‘clients’ had left in her house a bag containing explosives that caused the blast and the same man also went to the other house with another bag in his hand.
But the area people asserted that blasts occurred after unidentified people tossed hand-grenades at the houses.
The police said they were weighing up the circumstances and give their word only after a thorough investigation.
Jhang DPO Amjad Saleemi rushed to the site along with a heavy police contingent.
