MUZAFFARGARH: An assistant sub-inspector (ASI) died after a bus hit him as he was manning a picket on the Dera Din Pannah Road on Sunday.

ASI Qamar Amjad was deputed at the picket on the road. While checking the vehicles, he signaled a bus to stop but the driver, instead of stopping, allegedly crushed him under the wheels. Amjad, who was posted at the Dera Din Panah Police Station, was critically injured.

He was shifted to hospital for treatment where he succumbed to his injuries. Funeral prayers for the deceased were offered at his native Layyah.
