VIDEO: Ghotki journalist Nasrullah Gadani laid to rest

A large number of people from various walks of the life attended funeral prayers of slain journalist, Nasrullah Gadani, who breathed his last on Friday at a private hospital in Karachi.

Gadani's body was shifted to his native-kot Mirpur Mathelo, Ghotki, from Karachi, where he was laid to rest .

The journalist, who was associated with a Sindhi newspaper, had suffered serious butter injuries when unidentified motorcycle-riding gunmen opened fire at him near Korai Goth, 12 kilometres from Mirpur Mathelo, on Tuesday.

Gadani was, at the time of the unfortunate incident, riding his motorcycle. Following the attack, police shifted him to Civil Hospital Mirpur Mathelo, where he received emergency medical aid and was then sent to Rahim Yar Khan for surgery.

Later, he was shifted to Karachi via an air ambulance for better treatment, with the Sindh government announcing to bear all of his medical costs.

However, even shifting him to a better hospital could not bear fruit as he succumbed to his wounds around three days later and breathed his last Friday morning.

Protesting over the death of their colleague, journalists boycotted the proceedings of the Sindh Assembly and demanded the government ensure that the killers of Gadani were brought to justice.
