Last week, an auto parts dealer was also gunned down in his shop by men on a motorcycle. Earlier this month, one man was killed and another injured in a targeted attack in Quetta.
Following the attack, the Hazaras staged a protest to denounce the government's failure to provide security to Balochistan's marginalised community.
