DERA MURAD JAMALI: In a tragic turn of events, Muhammad Aslam Khan Umrani, the leader of the Jamiat ul Ulema e Islam (JUI), was killed in a firing incident that erupted during a clash between two tribal groups over an agricultural water dispute. The violent confrontation occurred within the jurisdiction of Mongoli police station, leading to immediate action by local authorities.

The incident began when tensions between the Umrani and Hijwani tribes escalated over access to water for their agricultural lands. The situation quickly spiraled out of control, resulting in an exchange of gunfire that left one person dead and another slightly injured.

Upon receiving information about the clash, SSP Naseerabad Fahad Khan Khosa, along with his police party, promptly arrived at the scene. Their swift intervention managed to bring the situation under control, forcing the armed men from both tribes to retreat. In the process, police seized weapons, motorcycles, and other items used in the ongoing conflict.

Maulana Wasey, the Balochistan Chief of JUI, expressed his deep sorrow and outrage over the incident. He strongly condemned the attack and called on the government to arrest and prosecute those responsible for the murder of Muhammad Aslam Khan Umrani. “This senseless violence must end, and the perpetrators must face justice,” said Wasey.

SSP Fahad Khan Khosa assured the public that the rule of law will be upheld. “No one will be allowed to take the law into their own hands,” he stated. “We are committed to maintaining peace and order, and the arrests of those involved in this tragic incident will be carried out swiftly.”

The Naseerabad police remain vigilant and alert to prevent any further incidents and ensure the safety and security of the community. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and authorities are determined to bring the culprits to justice.

  1. There wasn’t any exchange of firings. It was one sided. Shaheed Muhammad Aslam Khan Umrani was armed less and he wasn’t carry any weapons or else. And no one was injured. The plan of hijwani Jamali was to kill Shaheed Aslam Khan. Don’t spread fake news. It was pre planned Murder
