QUETTA, Pakistan: Unknown assailants opened fire on a police vehicle in Quetta on Monday that left two policemen including the district police officer (DPO) Kharan seriously injured, the levies sources said.
The policemen were shifted to a hospital where the DPO Kharan Muhammad Anwar Badini was reported to be in a critical condition.

The Chief Minister Balochistan Dr Abdul Malik Baloch strongly condemned the attack. He also directed the police officials to launch an investigation into the incident and submit a report in this regard.
