Three people died while two were severely injured Saturday during crossfire between two groups of the Mehar tribe in a suburban village of Shikarpur’s Lakhi Ghulam Shah Tehsil, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

The firing between the two groups took place due to an old enmity over illicit relations. The deceased were identified as Raza Mehar, Faqeer Muhammad Mehar and Muhabbat Mehar by the Shikarpur Police.

According to the police, extreme tensions remained in the area as the crossfire between both the groups continued and the force was deployed to prevent any further bloodshed.
