SUKKUR: Armed men riding a motorcycle opened fire on a rickshaw killing its driver, on a road running parallel to Sukkur’s vegetable market along the Indus Highway on Saturday, officials at the A-Section police station said.

The police collected the body and shifted it to the Sukkur Civil Hospital, where the victim was identified as Abdul Ghaffar Bangwar.

His family members and relatives told the media at the hospital that they had a dispute with some members of the Domki community. They suspected that the murder was linked with the same rivalry.
