A bomb planted by unidentified militants outside the house of Mandani union council’s former nazim was defused on Saturday.
Mandani police sub-inspector Imran Khan said, former nazim Nisar Khan and district leader for the Qaumi Watan Party, told the police he was coming out of his house when he spotted a suspicious looking canister along the boundary wall.
Following this, the police reached the site, cordoned the area off and called in a bomb disposal squad (BDS) official who defused the device.
According to the BDS official, two kilogrammes of high-intensity explosives were planted in the canister targeting Nisar’s house. The police have registered a case against unidentified militants.
