The victims were identified as Sajid, Shafiq, Fayyaz, Iftikhar, Salman, Khalid, and Allah Wasia. They labourers were attacked while sleeping in the same room of the house where they were working.

According to the police, armed men stormed the site and opened fire with automatic weapons, indiscriminately targeting the workers.

“Seven labourers were killed on the spot and another was injured in the firing,” Inspector General of Police Moazzam Jah Ansari said.

Police and other law enforcement agencies reached the spot and the victims were transported to the district hospital for immediate care, as reported by Dawn.
