Two people were killed in a suicide blast in Peshawar's Hayatabad area when the bomber targeted civil judge Asif Jadoon's vehicle on Wednesday, SSP Operations Sajjad Khan said.
Jadoon was travelling in a car in Hayatabad's Phase 5 area when a motorcycle struck the front of his vehicle and exploded, killing the driver and injuring the judge as well as the vehicle's three other female occupants.
A total of 10 people were injured in the explosion — all were moved to the Hayatabad Medical Complex and an emergency was imposed at the hospital.
The blast happened as officials from the provincial government were expected to inaugurate the Out Patient Department (OPD) at the Hayatabad Medical Complex. Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan and other senior party leaders were expected to attend the ceremony.
The Peshawar Development Authority office, the Shaukat Khannum Hospital, educational institutions, and several private and government offices are located in the area.
