| [Pak Daily Times] Six people, including a grandson of Balochistan nationalist leader late Akbar Bugti, were killed and nine others injured in firing at a dance party in the metropolis in the wee hours of Sunday. Police said the dance party was organised by Arif Rajader, a local leader of Pakistain Mohammedan League-Functional (PML-F), with his friend Faisal for some 50 guests, including Taleh Bugti, at a bungalow in Khayaban-e-Rahat area of Defence Housing Authority (DHA). Taleh came with extra friends and entered the party but one of his friend got permission to get inside after an hour, which caused skirmish among the participants. Taleh's friend Zahid Butt started brawl and opened aerial fire. In retaliation, party organiser Dr Iqbal pulled out a pistol and warned Zahid. This caused exchange of fire that killed Taleh and Dr Iqbal. The guards of Taleh also started firing. As a result, 12 more people received injuries and were shifted to local hospitals. Four injured Kamran Shafi, Mark Joseph, Kamran Gul and Ziauddin later succumbed to injuries. Those who sustained injuries were Zeeshan, 28; Zahid Fazal, 27; Faraz Amir, 22; Irfan Adnan, 33; Qamaruddin, 30; Shahbaz Habib, 30; Bilal Arshad, 25; Essa Jalaluddin and Ziauddin, 28.
