According to rescue officials, the DSP was travelling in his car when he was targeted.
The DSP was initially injured by the attack. As he was being shifted to a hospital, he succumbed to his injuries.
Security officials cordoned off crime scene soon after the incident and began a search for the suspected attackers.
Last month, two security personnel were injured when a planted bomb targeted an FC vehicle in Quetta.

DSP and his guard killed in Quetta awfully terrifies me at least if not you for the simple reason that when such people are killed how the life an ordinary Pakistani can be safe in my beloved Pakistan. What is the answer then? Pakistan armed forces including army, air force and navy too is no more safe either. President, PM and political leaders too have been attacked. Are we saying that none comes out of house which is not possible or all be given bulletproof vehicle which is also next to impossible? Who is our Plato and Aristotle to solve the baffling question as to what be done and who can do it? Iqbal Hadi Zaidi / Kuwait / iqbalhadizaidi.formerdiplomat@hotmail.com
Why is it that only common men and cops are killed, why not these corrupt tax evading politicians?
