Two young PTI workers were killed while 12 others suffered injuries in a clash with police in Shangla’s Alpuri district.

A large number of PTI workers took to the streets in the district to protest against alleged rigging.

The deceased and wounded were taken to the District Headquarters Hospital Alpuri, Deputy Medical Superintendent Dr Sajjad Khan told Dawn.com, adding that the injured sustained bullet wounds and were beaten with sticks and stones.

The two dead were identified as Muhammad Hassan, 16 and Mohsin Ali, 21. Hassan was the grandson of former provincial minister and newly elected MPA Abdul Munim from PK-29.
