Pakistan: Two police constables die after unknown attackers target them in Shikarpur
At least two police constables died in Pakistan's Shikarpur district on Wednesday when unknown attackers opened fire on them, media reports said.
According to the statement issued by the Sindh Inspector General’s (IGP) operations room to Dawn.com, the two constables, identified as Altaf Brohi and Abdul Qadir Qallati, were “in civil dress” and eating at a restaurant in the Garhi Taigo area when unidentified suspects approached the restaurant and shot them before fleeing the scene.
Both the cops have died.
The IGP’s operations room added that the constables’ bodies were shifted to Shikarpur Civil Hospital.
Sindh Home Minister Ziaul Hassan Lanjhar has sought details about the incident from Senior Superintendents of Police in Kashmore and Shikarpur.
“The criminals who martyr police officers, as well as their gangs and facilitators, must be eliminated,” Lanjhar said in a statement issued by his office as quoted by Dawn News.
“Ongoing targeted operations against dacoits must be intensified," Lanjhar said.
Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah expressed “grief and anger” over the death of the cops in the attack.
