In a somewhat similar incident previously, two Hindu businessmen were shot and killed while resisting a robbery attempt at their shop in Mithi, Tharparkar.
According to the local police, the victims, identified as Dileep Kumar and Chandar Maheshwari, were brothers.
Robbers riding a bike struck at their shop in the grain market in Mithi early Friday morning and tried to snatch cash from them, according to a police official.
When the two brothers put up resistance, the robbers opened fire at them. As a result, they suffered fatal bullet wounds and died before they could be transported to a hospital for medical treatment.
