The incident sparked a vigorous protest by transporters, leading to the blockage of the national highway and severe hardships for thousands of travelers.
According to police officials, the assailant, riding a motorcycle, arrived at the bus stand and fired multiple shots from a pistol at the coach. The attack occurred as passengers were disembarking from the vehicle. The injured were identified as the coach driver, Azhar Mahmood, and two other passengers.
