KHUZDAR: Unknown armed men gunned down three people, including a trader, in two separate incidents in Balochistan’s Khuzdar district on Monday.

In a separate incident, unidentified gunmen riding a motorbike opened fire at two persons at Chandani chowk and fled from the site.

As a result, one man died on the spot while the other succumbed to his injuries on way to a hospital.

The bodies of the deceased were handed over to the heirs after completion of legal formalities.

The motives behind the killings could not be ascertained so far. Police registered both cases and started the investigations.
