Malik Painda Muhammad was among a few key tribal elders who had led an armed Lashkar that brunt two houses owned by two religious figures and leaders of the defunct Tanzim Nifaz Shariat-e-Muhammad (TNSM), Maulana Amin and Maulana Faqir Muhammad.
| Ummm... I think I might have a couple suspects... |
Sources told The News from Bajuar that Malik Painda Khan’s brand new car narrowly escaped a remote-controlled bomb explosion planted by unknown culprits on his way near Nayag village.
| Yup. Unknown suspects. No idea who they might be... |
Besides Malik Painda Khan, his two sons — Muhammad Daud and Muhammad Farooq — and a grandson whose name could not be ascertain were also travelling in the same vehicle. They were returning home after attending funeral prayers of their relation. All of them remained unhurt. His car was however reported to have been damaged in the explosion. Later, officials rushed to the troubled spot but could not make any arrest.
