SANGHAR: A quarrel between two groups belonging to the Jakhro community in Kalro Jakhro village near Shahdadpur triggered an armed clash and left three people dead on Tuesday.

Witnesses and officials at the Lundo police station said that parents of some children quarrelled at a primary school within the village over some petty issue and more people joined in the brawl. The situation turned ugly when some of them, related to each other, resorted to firing. As a result, Imam Bukhsh, 50, Sikandar, 24, and Nazar Mohammed, 30, received fatal bullet wounds. Several other persons were wounded in the clash and taken to hospitals in Shahdadpur and Hyderabad.

A police picket was set up in the village to prevent more violence.

No FIR was registered at the Lundo police station till the filing of the report late in the evening.
