Miraculously surviving the assault, Shehryar Shar found himself trapped in the hazardous area. His son promptly appealed to the police for help, urging them to rescue his father from the volatile region.
Responding to the emergency, SSP Hafeezur Rehman Bugti of Ghotki arrived with substantial police reinforcements. Despite their presence, the situation remains highly charged, and the standoff between law enforcement and the bandits continues.
