Incident
DawnNews cameraman injured in Quetta blast dies
Details
DawnNews Quetta bureau chief Syed Ali Shah confirmed the passing of Mehmood Khan, whom he described as a dedicated, young, God-fearing man who is survived by four children.
Mehmood was also the guardian to his brother’s three children, Shah said.
He added that Mehmood joined DawnNews several years ago as a security guard. He showed an interest in working in the newsroom and was soon given the role of a non-linear editor. For the last two years, he was working as a cameraman for DawnNews.
An ambitious young man, Mehmood was preparing to apply for admission to a Masters in Mass Communication.
The blast at civil hospital took place soon after dozens of lawyers gathered at the hospital following the killing of the Balochistan Bar Association President, who was shot dead this morning.
Several media personnel were present at the hospital to cover the protest. Another cameraman from Aaj TV was also killed in the explosion.
