Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Sardar Latif Khosa’s son and Supreme Court lawyer Balkh Sher Khosa was shot injured by unidentified armed men here Monday night. According to details, Balkh Sher Khosa was coming out of Punjab University in his car when two unidentified armed motorcyclists sprayed bullets at his vehicle outside the gate close to Iqbal Town and sped the scene. As a result of firing, Balkh Sher was injured and rushed to Doctors Hospital for treatment. Police cordoned off the area after the attacked and conducted operation for the assailants but no arrest could be made.

However, Sardar Latif Khosa told media that Sher Khosa had come from Multan after appearing in a case and visited the Punjab University to meet his clients. He said as soon as his son came out of the university in his vehicle, two armed motorcyclists opened fire at him. He said it was ironic that the law and order situation of the provincial capital was pathetic. “I have discussed the matter with Punjab Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi and IGP Amir Zulfiqar (now transferred).” Khosa said he did not know why his son was attacked. “My family is in politics and we also contest some high profile cases and it might be possible anyone wanted to settle the score,” he said.
