HYDERABAD, June 11: Tando Allahyar is in the grip of fear and tension following the murder of two peasants and injuries to four others at the hands of bandits in three different incidents that took place late Sunday night.

Reports reaching here said that a group of dacoits attacked the agriculture farm of Major (Retd) Sultan in the jurisdiction of the Pyaro Lund police in which peasants Sajan Kolhi and Nabi Bux Babbar were killed and Wahid Bux was seriously injured.

The peasants were watering the fields when they came under the attack. The condition of Wahid Bux is reported to be serious.

These three incidents in one night have created fear and panic among the people of Tando Allahyar.
