According to the Police spokesperson, the police van was on a routine patrol when four unidentified armed motorcyclists opened fire on it near Hayat Minor.

Station House Officer (SHO) Paroa, Muhammad Ali, along with his team, promptly retaliated against the fire.

However, the attackers managed to flee into the nearby forest, taking advantage of the darkness, and left their two motorcycles on the spot.

The police have taken both the motorcycles into custody and launched a search operation in the surrounding area to trace the suspects.

The law enforcers have cordoned off the area and registered a case against the unknown attackers. Further investigation is underway.
