Sources said that Usman alias Tikkah Khan Rodani came under fire when
he came out of his house. The assailants were on a motorbike and the
incident may be another case of target killing.
DIG Operations Hamid Shakeel said the retired officer received
multiple bullets wounds and died on the spot.
A policeman quoted family sources as saying that Mr Usman had no
enmity with anyone. In another incident in the same area, gunmen
attacked three construction workers, killing two of them and injuring
the third. All of them belonged to the Hazara tribe.
