LARKANA: A 40-year-old man was shot dead and his elder brother was wounded along a section of the Khirthar mountain range within the jurisdiction of the Qubo Saeed Khan police station on Saturday.

They were riding a motorcycle when unknown armed assailants opened fire on them killing Sohrab Chandio on the spot and critically wounding his brother Khadim Hussain, the police said.

They believed that the attack was linked with an old enmity between two groups of the Chandio tribe.

Khadim Hussain was rushed to the Chandka Medical College Hospital, where doctors referred him to a major Karachi hospital.—Correspondent
