Taxila: Unknown man shot dead former Member of the Provincial Assembly (MPA) from Attock and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Malik Shahan Hakmeen Khan in Pakistan's Attock city on Wednesday.

Shahan was taken to District Headquarters (DHQ) Hospital Attock from where he was taken to Rawalpindi in a Rescue-1122 ambulance but he succumbed to his injuries on the way to the hospital in Rawalpindi, reports  Dawn News.

“We were near DHQ hospital Rawalpindi when he breathed his last,” District Emergency Officer Ishfaq Mian told Dawn News.

Pakistan Peoples Party chairman Bilwal Bhutto Zardari tweeted: "I am deeply saddened and shocked to hear about the murder of Shahan Hakmeen. An upright and dedicated PPP comrade, like his father, late Malik Hakmeen. Justice needs to be done."
