SUKKUR: A man died and four others were injured when a few armed robbers opened fire at a passenger bus near the railway crossing in Lakhi Ghulam Shah district, Shikarpur, on Wednesday night.

A passenger wagon carrying devotees from Jacobabad was on its way to Sehwan Sharif, when a group of armed robbers signalled the driver to stop.

The driver sped up the vehicle instead after which the robbers opened fire.

This led to the killing of Mir Hassan Mirali while four others, Mumtaz Ali, Abdul Ghaffar, Didar and Abdul Qadir, sustained injuries. The robbers fled after the shooting.
