KARACHI: Wall-chalking, carrying the name of militant group Islamic State (IS), appeared in Larkana on Friday.

The wall-chalking appeared in a youth hostel located in Sachal Colony.

Following the emergence of the wall-chalking, locals in the area voiced their concerns after which police started an investigation.

A day earlier, a grenade attack on Rangers personnel injured a soldier, which was rumoured to be linked with the IS.

The pro-IS wall chalking has appeared at a time when people from different parts of the country are reaching Larkana in large numbers to observe the seventh death anniversary of former Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman and the country's assassinated premier Benazir Bhutto.
