QUETTA, Feb 11: The Levies Force has got registered a case against eight personnel of the Frontier Corps for allegedly killing two persons in a shooting last week on demonstrators protesting the murder of  the wife and daughter of MPA Mir Bakhtiar Khan Domki in Karachi.

The two women were shot dead, along with their driver, two weeks ago while they were returning home after attending a marriage ceremony.
