Ratodero:Two persons were gunned down in Ratodero by four unidentified armed men riding two bikes near Mehar Ghanghro turn on Tuesday.
They were identified as Azharuddin son of Shamsuddin Kumbhar and Abdul Jabbar son of Hafiz Sikander Kumbhar. Ratodero police shifted the bodies to Taluka Headquarter Hospital for fulfillment of legal formalities. Jabbar was a resident of Naundero and Azhar was residing at Panjudero village.
Police claimed that both have been killed over an issue of Pirh Jeho kidnapping in December 2020 from Mubarak Jeho village located within the limits of Naundero police station but police failed to recover her. Her heirs suspected Azhar, a Chingchi driver taking her to school as she was a teacher, was involved in the incident and a case was registered against him.
Aijaz, brother of deceased Azhar, alleged that his brother and a relative have been murdered over the Pirah Jeho kidnapping allegation in which his brother was not involved. He said his brother had gone to attend the court hearing in the same case in Ratodero and they were targeted on their way back. He said Azhar was fired 13 bullets and Shams 6 bullets. He said they were lying on the road and bleeding but neither police reached the spot quickly nor an ambulance reached to shift the injured to hospital for treatment and further management.
Sikander Kumbhar, father of Shams, told newsmen that they don’t have any enmity with anyone. He said his son just accompanied his relative where he too was killed which is a barbaric act. Jabbar was married and had four children. Police conducted raids over the houses of the accused but they had already left their homes hence neither any arrest was made nor any case was registered till filing of this report.
