PESHAWAR: Demonstrating exceptional operational readiness and unwavering resolve, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Police and Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) successfully neutralized three high-risk miscreants affiliated with proscribed terrorist outfits during an intense exchange of fire at Gandi Chowk, Lakki Marwat District.
The decisive engagement followed immediate security protocols after law enforcement intercepted a suspicious vehicle. While three of the suspects were eliminated on the spot, a fourth injured accomplice managed to take advantage of the terrain and escape under the cover of darkness. A comprehensive search and sweep operation is currently underway across the surrounding areas to track down and apprehend the fleeing fugitive.
