The attackers escaped the crime scene. The body of Bachal was taken to the Civil Hospital, Quetta, for autopsy. An investigation has been ordered by the police authorities to ascertain the real causes of the attack on the vehicle of the provincial minister. However, no group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack.
