GWADAR: Armed men gunned down the brother-in-law of a former provincial minister as well as a senior police officer on Saturday.

Abdul Qayyum Buledi was shot dead by men riding a motorcycle while he was sitting outside his home.

“Qayyum Buledi died on the spot after receiving multiple bullet injuries,” a Levies official said.

He was brother-in-law of Zahoor Buledi, an ex-finance minister of Balochistan.

The body was shifted to a nearby hospital. Zahoor Buledi had recently joined the PPP. In another incident, the chief of special branch of police, Mohammad Rafiq, was gunned down in an attack while he was talking to a friend.
