According to the district administration, armed assailants had entered the residence where the labourers were staying and opened indiscriminate fire.
The seven men were killed on the spot, while one, identified as Muhammad Ramzan, son of Allah Yar, was critically injured and rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
