KHAIRPUR, May 11: One person was killed in a clash between two groups of bandits in the kutcha area, Ahmad Bux police station jurisdiction, here on Tuesday evening.

A bandit, Ali Gul Narejo, and his group members were hiding in a house in the area when the group of Asghar Narejo surrounded the house and opened fire on them. They also fired rockets on the house which caught fire.

A burnt body was recovered from the house. However, it could not be ascertained whether the body was of a bandit or some other person. Some reports also said that two bodies were recovered from the house.
