Two people were injured in firing and three vehicles, including a police mobile-unit, were torched on Friday when the Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz (JSMM) announced a strike.
JSMM - Shafi Burfat Group had given the strike call in reaction to the killing of its vice-chairman Sirai Qurban Khawarh and two other activists in an ambush in Sanghar on Thursday.
The police mobile-unit was torched by unidentified men on Wadu Wah Road in Qasimabad but no one was hurt. The protesters also set fire to a container on Hyderabad Bypass after they opened fire at the driver and cleaner.
