The families of victims of Quetta’s Hazara Town blast had decided to bury the bodies of their loved ones at 9:00 AM, however, it was delayed as the coffins were taken to graveyard for burial, the women protesters occupied the graves demanding that they be buried first before their loved ones.

The heart-rending scenes enraged some of the protesters who resorted to aerial firing that led to a cross fire by the police creating panic and commotion that halted the burial process, however, no one was hurt.

At least 89 people were killed and over 100 injured in a horrific bombing in Quetta’s Hazara Town on Saturday.
