Masieh’s family said he was attacked by his personal guard. Speaking to media, Masieh’s brother said he was gunned down by his guard outside their residence.

Hospital sources said the MPA was shot in the head and neck. A spokesman for the Balochistan government confirmed that Masieh had been killed by his guard.

Police said Handery Masieh and his nephew were attacked outside his residence. Police have cordoned off the area and started a search operation for the attacker.

The MPA was rushed to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has directed the Balochistan government to take immediate action against Handery Masieh’s attackers. He added that the protection of minorities was the responsibility of the federal and provincial governments.

Masieh who was affiliated with the National Party was elected from NM-65 on a reserved seat for minorities.

This is a developing story and further details are awaited.
