In separate shooting events in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region’s Khurram District, eight persons perished. The murders took place over a week. The Turi Bangash tribe members protested following the murders of the eight people.

The tribe members organised the demonstration in the Parachinar neighbourhood of the Kurram district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. They said they would create a protest movement if the eight persons who died did not receive justice.

The tribe consequently demanded that the nation’s legal authorities punish the murderers for their crimes. The tribe members marched on foot to the Parachinar Press Club as part of the project. Of the eight people that passed away, five were educators.

On Thursday, May 4, two separate shooting occurrences at the Parachinar claimed the lives of the victims. Members of the Turi Bangash tribe made up the victims. According to the officials, the incident resulted from a land dispute. Syed Muhammad and Syed Akhlaq Hussain, the tribe’s chiefs, assert that their community had no problems.

The leaders addressed the protesters, who urged them to keep calling for justice for the killings. Additionally, the populace requested that a report be made against those at the school at the time of the incident with the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provincial government. They asserted that all offenders must receive the punishments they merit.

The tribe members used the occasion to criticise the provincial Department of Education. The tribal members said that the department members did not attend the funerals of the five instructors who died in the tragedy when speaking about the eight previous week’s deaths.

The people’s top demand is that the headmaster, police officer, and class four staff be taken into custody. These staff workers allegedly attended the school on the day of the event, according to the tribe. The public then urged the government to launch a thorough investigation.
