A deadly exchange of fire between two tribal groups in Jilani Market, Dera Murad Jamali, in Nasirabad district claimed the life of a labourer and left another critically injured, spreading panic across the area. According to local reports, the sudden shooting erupted during business hours, causing chaos in the busy market. Labourer Naseebullah Bhutto died on the spot after being struck by indiscriminate gunfire, while another worker, Aqib Bohr, sustained serious injuries and was shifted to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Following the incident, traders and citizens staged a strong protest by blocking the national highway, demanding immediate arrest of the suspects. The demonstration was led by trader representatives and civil society members, who expressed solidarity with the victim’s family. Later, the protest was temporarily called off after assurances from the SSP Nasirabad regarding swift arrests. However, protesters warned that if action is not taken by the given deadline, the highway and markets will be blocked again, intensifying pressure on authorities.
