MANSEHRA, May 2: Another victim of the April 21 Allai firing incident, which claimed five lives, on Wednesday died at a Abbottabad hospital before his body was handed over to his family after autopsy in Battagram.

Mohammad Ibrar, who was shot at by a Tableeghi Jammat colleague along with five others in a mosque of Pashto area of Allai, succumbed to his injuries at District Headquarters Hospital, Battagram, while his body was autopsied at District Headquarters Hospital, Battagram, and handed over to his family.

A source in police said the alleged killer, Rizwanullah, who was arrested after the firing incident, was an ex-soldier of Levies and that preliminary investigation declared him insane.

He said the Kalashnikov used for killings was also seized.
