BATKHELA, June 18: Four CD shops were blown up in a local market on Wednesday, sources in the political administration said.

Some miscreants had planted explosives in the Burhan Market, which went off.

It is pertinent to mention that owners of CD shops and drug dealers had received anonymous letters asking them to shut down their ‘un-Islamic’ businesses. The Levies Force registered a case.
