Two policemen were killed and three injured in a militant attack in the Parmoli area of Swabi district early on Friday.
An accused in police custody was also killed when the militants opened fire on the police vehicle.
Officials said the policemen were on a routine patrol in the Parmoli area when unidentified armed men on motorcycles opened fire on the police van, injuring five men.
They were rushed to District Headquarter Hospital Swabi where two of them succumbed to the injuries.
District Police Officer Dr Mian Saeed told Pakistan Today that they had identified the five militants. He said efforts were underway for their arrest.
Terrorist attacks are occurring in the Parmoli area from the last several months. Awami National Party candidate for provincial assembly Amir Rahman survived in a similar attack in the area during an election rally.
Respected Journalists and human rights activists;
On 15th of the instant at about 12.45 a.m a group of militants ambushed a police van killing two policemen and a civilian at the village Shewa, Swabi. http://tribune.com.pk/story/591178/targeted-attac…
As retaliation, the police raided the nearby houses and arrested and battered innocent people openly to create terror in the area. The next evening, while the police was on its way to the police stations Parmoli, at the main Shewa Bazar, they arrested a boy named, Syed Aktar s/o Zarshad, village Shewa, and took him along to the police station Parmoli, Swabi. Inside the police station the boy was inhumanly treated and killed in front of the District Police Officer, Swabi. Then his body was thrown outside the police station at the main Shewa Parmoli road. On examining his body, it appeared that his nails and both eyes were missing; his neck and backbone were broken.
this really a grim situation in the district, where the police officials commit extrajudicial killings and raid houses without any fear and violate the Chadar and Chardewari and openly abuse women, children and elderly. Journalists are specially requested to highlight the issues so that the district be safeguarded of the brutal police forces.
