According to Khuzdar Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Fahad Khosa, the event happened close to Jhalawan Medical College, which is situated along the National Highway. The official, named Sharbat Khan Umrani, was reportedly traveling to work when the explosion occurred, according to the SSP. He claimed that the CTD official’s car had a bomb installed in it.
Police and security personnel arrived at the scene of the event right away, according to SSP Khosa, along with the bomb disposal team, which was determining the size of the explosion.
