An ongoing feud between the Mahar and Jatoi communities claimed another life on Sunday near Chak, within the Bachal Bhayo police station jurisdiction.
Reports indicate that armed individuals from the Jatoi community launched an assault on Fateh Tando Village, seizing over 30 buffaloes. In the ensuing chaos, villager Jummo Mahar attempted to resist and fired back at the attackers in an effort to reclaim the livestock.
The confrontation led to the death of Jummo Mahar and left two individuals from the Jatoi side injured. The body of the deceased was transported to Taluka Hospital Lakhi for legal procedures and later returned to his family after a post-mortem examination. The violence is attributed to a long-standing feud between the two communities. As of late evening, no FIR had been filed.
