Among the victims was Shaukat Ali, a Faisalabad resident, who was travelling home from Quetta after attending a condolence visit.

Gunmen forcibly removed him from the bus and shot him, leaving his grieving sisters helpless inside.

His sister, an eyewitness to the horrific killing, recounted the ordeal: “They checked my brother’s ID, dragged him off the bus, and killed him.”

Shaukat, a resident of People’s Colony, Faisalabad, was returning from a relative’s funeral when he was executed in cold blood.

Another victim, 20-year-old Ihsan from Dijkot, had recently secured a job in Quetta and was returning home for the first time when he was gunned down by the attackers.
