QUETTA, Dec 8: Four people, including an attacker, were killed and another was injured when unidentified men opened fire on their rivals in a village near Dera Murad Jamali of the Nasirabad district on Saturday.
Pakistan People’s Party candidate for provincial assembly Mir Sadiq Ali Umrani claimed that PPP workers were sitting in an election camp when the rivals attacked them.
However, Nasirabad DPO Mujahid Akbar termed the incident a result of land dispute between two groups. Sources said that the armed men attacked the camp of Abdul Sattar Umrani, brother of PPP candidate in Baba Goth of Tambo tehsil early in the morning.
The armed guards sitting in the camp returned fire and gunfight continued for around half an hour. “Three victims of the firing belonged to the Pakistan People’s Party,” the sources said.
