Although a heavy contingent of police reached site of the incident to calm down the situation, still the exchange of fire between the two groups continued even in its presence.
Police said that the incident was the consequence of old enmity.
A day earlier, four people, including a woman, were killed and five others, including two women, were injured when two groups of Kosh tribe clashed in Khair Muhammad Kosh, a suburban village of Shikarpur, also over old enmity.
