A senior journalist and a renowned press photographer was shot dead here on Saturday morning and a banned Baloch militant group has claimed responsibility for the murder. Dr Chishti Mujahid was on his way to Quetta’s Helper Hospital along with his sister when an unidentifed attacker fired two shots at him. His body was shifted to the Civil Hospital for autopsy. The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), an underground separatist group, claimed responsibility for murdering the journalist, saying that he had been supportive of government policies and indulged in ‘anti-Baloch propaganda’ in his political commentary. |
