QUETTA – Unknow assailants on Tuesday killed a police constable, in what appeared to be a targeted killing, on Raisani Road in Quetta.
The constable, identified as Naseer Ahmed, was enroute to work when he was gunned down. However, the attackers escaped from the spot after the attack.
Police and security forces reached the spot and investigation have been launched to trace the culprits and motives behind the killing.
Last week, a strong explosion rocked the Balochistan capital, killing at least seven people including five police personnel and injuring dozens of others.
The blast took place near a police truck parked close to GPO Chowk on Quetta’s Zarghoon Road, located in the city’s high-security Red Zone, around 300 meters from the provincial assembly building. The road also leads to the Chief Minister’s Secretariat.
