[Dawn] Gunmen rubbed out three Hindus in a remote southern Pak town in a dispute over a dancing girl with a local Moslem tribe, officials said on Tuesday.The incident took place on Monday in Chak town near Shikarpur city, 400 kilometres north of Bloody Karachi.
"Two men riding a cycle of violence shot up a clinic, killing three Hindu doctors and wounding a paramedic seriously," Pakistain Hindu Council chief Ramesh Kumar told AFP.
He said the dispute had erupted between the Hindu community and the local Baban Khan Bhayo tribe after local Hindu boys brought a Moslem dancing girl to the area.
"Police raided the house where the girl was dancing and placed in long-term storage four boys," said Kumar.
He said that the issue had been taken to the local assembly of elders to be resolved peacefully after the ongoing Eid holidays, but before that could happen the shooting took place, he said.
Kumar said the Hindu community had sought protection from police after receiving anonymous calls threatening them with "serious consequences".
Sindh police Inspector General Mushtaq Shah also confirmed the explanation for the incident and the casualties.
