An official of the Bannu investigation circle was shot and critically injured when his cousin Hizbullah allegedly opened fire on him in his hujra during the late hours of Friday.
The Mundan police said Syed Iftikhar Ali Shah was with family members when the suspect arrived on a bike and opened fire, leaving him severely injured. The rest of his relatives narrowly escaped the gunfire.
A Mundan official stated the investigation officer was taken to the hospital, while the suspect fled from the scene. He added Iftikhar was shot in the face and had to be operated on at the District Headquarters Hospital where the bullet was removed. He was now said to be stable. A case was filed against Hizbullah and further investigation is under way.
