SUKKUR: Motorcycle-riding armed men gunned down a schoolteacher near a power grid station within the jurisdiction of Kashmore police station in Kandhkot-Kashmore district on 22 August.
Family sources said the schoolteacher, Fahad Khoso, was going to his school when the assailants fired at him indiscriminately from close range and escaped.
Police officials said that police rushed to the crime scene after receiving information about the incident and shifted the dead body to a civil hospital for post-mortem examination. It was later handed over to heirs after completion of medico-legal formalities, they said.
They said that they had started an investigation into the teacher’s murder and would soon arrest his assailants.
Jamaat-i-Islami Sindh’s emir Muhammad Hussain Mehanti condemned the teacher’s murder in a press statement and said that the menace of tribal feuds had become cancer for Sindh’s society, which had destroyed an uncountable number of families but police and administration acted as silent spectators doing nothing to stop bloodshed of the innocent.
