RAHIM YAR KHAN: A resident of Chowk Mari near Kot Sabzal area at the Punjab-Sindh border who was killed by unidentified people in Turbat (Balochistan) was buried in his native village, some 60km from here, on Thursday.

Ijaz Ahmed Mangi, 20, ran a barber shop in Turbat. He was busy in his work when two men shot at him a couple of days ago after learning about his identity. Mangi died on the spot.

Mangi’s funeral prayers were offered by a large number of locals who demanded arrest of the culprits.

Sources said extreme poverty in Chowk Mari area forced people to move to other towns to earn money to survive. Most of the migrants opt to become barbers and work in Sindh and Balochistan.
