When SHO Sohrab Odhu learned of the armed conflict between competing gangs, he arrived in the Chak region. As the Jatoi and Maher clans engaged in gunfire against one another, the SHO was attacked and suffered injuries. According to the accounts, the police official who was slain attempted to put out the fire.
Zia Ul Hassan Lanjar, the home minister for Sindh, called the occurrence regrettable and asked the SSP Shikarpur for a thorough report. Additionally, the minister gives the relevant authorities instructions to step up their efforts to combat dacoits in the Katcha region.
