The incident took place late on Tuesday after the gunnies riding cycle of violence opened fire on the women. Officials in provincial hospital confirmed that the dead bodies of the slain women were taken to the hospital. Provincial governor’s front man Jilani Farhad confirmed the incident and said the main motive behind murder of the women has not been ascertained so far. Farhad further added the gunnies managed to flee the area and a search operation is underway for their arrest.
