Bolan (Daily Qudrat Quetta) — In the Kachi-Bolan area of Balochistan, last night on the National Highway from Lemji Land to Mian Cross double road, unknown armed bandits set up obstacles on the highway and attempted to rob a convoy of passenger coaches and transporters. During this, due to timely police action, an intense exchange of fire continued between the bandits and police for half an hour. As a result of indiscriminate firing by the bandits, one passenger was killed while one police official and one passenger were seriously injured. Due to heavy retaliatory action by police, the bandits retreated and managed to escape from the scene, taking advantage of the darkness of the night.
Upon receiving information of the firing, rescue teams immediately shifted the deceased and the injured to DHQ Hospital Sibi. The deceased passenger was identified as Jamal Khan son of Nabi Bakhsh, a resident of Nawabshah, Sindh; the injured passenger as Najeebullah son of Shafi Muhammad, a resident of Nawabshah, Sindh; and the injured police official as Muhammad Ayaz, a resident of Kachi. Immediately after the incident, police personnel led by SHO Police Haji Shahar Mithri cordoned off the area and launched a search operation to arrest the fleeing bandits.
