, Geo News reported on Saturday citing police officials.
The incident took place when Dawar's supporters were protesting against the delay in election results.
According to the protesters, the police started firing and shelled tear gas during the demonstration.
Moreover, some of Dawar's associates also sustained injuries in the incident.
The police said that Dawar, along with others who were maimed, have been taken to Miranshah Hospital.
Miranshah District Police Officer (DPO) Rokhanzeb Khan, in conversation with Geo News, said the firing took place at a protest rally of a political party.
"During the firing, four people including political figure Mohsin Dawar were maimed. The armed persons present in the demonstration opened fire," the DPO said.
The NDM politician was contesting from the NA-40 constituency in North Waziristan for a seat in the National Assembly and lost against a Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf

(PTI)-backed independent candidate Aurangzeb Khan, who won the seat with 20,443 votes.
Earlier this year in January, Dawar's convoy came under a gun attack by bully boyz in Tappi village in North Waziristan.
North Waziristan District Police Officer (DPO) Rohan Zaib confirmed to Geo News about the attack but noted that the politician remained safe due to the law enforcers deployed for his security.
According to the police, several gunshots were fired at Dawar's convoy but he remained safe because his car was bulletproof and the security personnel accompanying him fired back at the assailants, which forced them to flee from the scene.
"Cowardly attacks cannot dampen our spirit. The patrons of the attackers should come in the field themselves instead of using others' children against us," Dawar said in reaction to the attack.
