Local leader, guards held for injuring three

HARIPUR: A local leader of Tehrik Suba Hazara (TSH) Jamil Kiyani ended up in lockup after realising that he cannot go around shooting people for not giving way to his SUV.

Kiyani, a retired major, was arrested with two guards for opening fire and injuring three people, police said on Saturday.



SHO City Muhammad Sabir said that TSH leader Kiyani was on his way to Haripur from Khanpur in his car. When he reached near Nehr Stop in Noor Colony the road was blocked due to construction work of a small bridge on the canal. The cause of traffic jam was a tractor trolley.

Kiyani told his guards to tell the tractor driver to back up. However, the tractor driver, Yousuf, refused and the security guards opened fire injuring him and two other people, Waqas and Bilawal.
