Pakistani journalist Nasrullah Gadani, who was shot at and wounded by armed assailants in Mirpur Mathelo a couple of days ago, died at a hospital in Karachi on Friday.
Forty-year-old Gadani, who was associated with Sindhi language daily Awami Awaz, was initially treated at a hospital in Rahim Yar Khan from where he was airlifted to Karachi for further treatment, reported Dawn News.
After the body of the journalist was transported to his hometown in a helicopter, people stopped at certain spots and paid homage to him when he was transported from Karachi to Mirpur Mathelo.
After the post-mortem process was completed, the body was taken to his native village Qabool Gadani for funeral prayers.
He was laid to rest in a local graveyard in the presence of large number of people.
A large number of people blocked the National Highway and staged a protest in front of the office of the SSP for the arrest of his killers, reported Dawn News.
