LARKANA: Six persons, including two women and a boy, were injured over theft of a hen and chicks between two groups of Khakhrani community in Faqeer Jo Goth village near Garhi Yasin on Wednesday.

Both the groups used wooden sticks against each other. The injured were rushed to the Emergency Department of Chandka Medical College Hospital for treatment and further management. The injured include Mazhar, Nazar Ali, Hazar Khan, and 12-year Nabi Bux Khakhrani but the duty doctors described the condition of Mazhar critical.

Injured Hazar Khan Khakhrani complained before the media that their opponent group of Qurban Khakhrani alleged that my 7-year nephew Faraz Khakhrani had stolen their hen and chicks and had a dispute with us a day earlier and my brother Qurban was arrested by police.

He said 12 people including Imtiaz, Pervaiz, Naveed, Pathan and others attacked us today with wooden sticks and injured us over a petty issue which is high-handedness. He demanded dispensation of justice and arresting all the influential accused.
