A trader was shot dead by a group of armed robbers who broke into his house in Khuzdar district of Balochistan on Saturday night. The robbers escaped with valuables after killing the trader, who resisted their attempt.
The deceased was identified as Ali Hassan Mohammad Hasni, the President of the Jhalawan vegetable market and a well-known businessman in the area. His family and other traders staged a protest on the Khuzdar-Karachi Highway near Sunni, demanding the arrest of the culprits and the protection of the people of Khuzdar.
The traders and social elders expressed their grief and anger over the killing of Ali Hassan, saying that the robbers had crossed all limits by murdering him. They said that such incidents created fear and panic among the public.
