MINGORA: Unidentified ar­med men attacked the house of police security in charge of Khyber Pakhtun­khwa Minister Fazal Hakim Khan in Sangota the previous night.

A heavy contingent of police rushed to Sangota soon after the attack on the residence of Sher Ali, the police security in-charge of Minister for Livestock, Fisheries and Cooperative Fazal Hakim.

The attackers caused damage to the house with gunfire but fled after a retaliatory response. Sher Ali and his family narrowly escaped harm during the incident. According to the police, Sher Ali’s neighbour Irfan reported that unidentified gunmen first threw stones at his house from outside, after which intense firing started.
