A 23-year-old Hindu farmer has been shot dead in Pakistan's Sindh province allegedly by his landlord for building a shelter on his land, leading to widespread protests by the Hindu community.

The police arrested the landlord Sarfaraz Nizamani, and his facilitator, Zafarullah Khan, from Hyderabad on Saturday night, SSP Badin Qamar Reza Jaskani said. Kelash Kohli was shot at for allegedly constructing a shelter in the land owned by Nizamani in



Talhar village of Badin district on January 4.

A special team was formed in this case after the accused fled the scene and went underground but we finally arrested him last night from the Fateh Chowk area in Hyderabad, Jaskani said.
