Unidentified gunmen have shot dead seven people after offloading them from a passenger bus in in Balochistan province, a media report said on Wednesday.
A group of around 40 armed men stopped several buses and other vehicles near Rakhani on the Barkhan-Dera Ghazi Khan highway late on Tuesday, Dawn reported.
“Armed men offloaded seven passengers from a coach after checking their identity cards and killed them,” Barkhan Deputy Commissioner Waqar Khurshid Alam said.
“All seven who were travelling in the coach belonged to Punjab, and were on their way to Lahore,” he added.
After disembarking them from the coach, the gunmen opened fire, killing them on the spot, he said, adding the attackers managed to escape.
The bodies of the seven men were later shifted to the district headquarters hospital. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far.
