According to Dawn, the sources in the Counterterrorism Department (CTD) said that Pakistan’s Kharan district officer Eid Mohammad was shot at Naurozabad bypass near his home.

“The gunmen opened fire using automatic weapons, critically injuring the officer. The deceased officer received multiple bullet injuries and was shifted to Divisional Headquarters Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries,” the sources added.

CTD Kharan’s Station House Officer (SHO) Abdullah said, “The assailants fled the scene soon after the incident.”
