Hindu Trader Shot Dead by Unidentified Gunmen in Balochistan, Pakistan
A Hindu trader, Rakesh Kumar, was shot dead by unidentified armed men in his shop in Noshki town, Balochistan, Pakistan. The assailants fled after firing when Kumar resisted. Police registered a case and shifted his body to the district hospital. Gurpal Singh, a Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assembly member, condemned the killing as a cowardly act by anti-state elements and urged authorities to investigate and bring the perpetrators to justice. The motive remains unclear, and no group has claimed responsibility.
