According to police officials, the suspected bomber was stopped at a check point near the Imambarghah but he opened fired on the police and was subsequently rubbed out.

The check point is an entry point to Shia community's Mohallah Saidan.

The DPO said, "the suspect bomber instead opened fire on the police and bravely ran away into a narrow street to escape."

"He then threw a hand grenade at the coppers but was subsequently killed after his vest went kaboom! due to police firing when he reached at the dead end of the street," Khan added.
