The latest incident brings to three the number of chief imams reportedly killed in the area within the past few weeks, raising fresh concerns over the worsening security situation.
A community leader in Danchadi said the attacks began around 4:00 p.m. and lasted until about 6:00 p.m.
“The attacks started around 4:00 p.m. and continued until about 6:00 p.m. The bandits killed the Chief Imam of Talluje and two other persons whose identities have yet to be confirmed,” the community leader said.
