At least 10 policemen, including a police inspector, were killed and 24 taken into hostage by the Chotu Gang in the riverine Katcha area in Rajanpur on Wednesday.
According to police, a 30-member police team led by DSP Sadar Asif Rasheed and SHO Bangla Acha Hanif Ghouri launched an operation to enter the area of Chhotu Gang when the gangsters opened fire on the police party.
Resultantly, SHO Bangla Acha police Hanif Ghouri and head constable Muhammad Ajmal, constables Muhammad Tanvir, Muhammad Tariq, Qazi Faheem, Amanullah, Zabihullah and three others were killed. The remaining 20 policemen were taken hostage by the gangsters.
With the operation Zarb-e-Aahan entering into 16th day and 1,600 cops taking part in it, no member of the Chotu Gang has so far been apprehended.
Reports suggest that the gangsters have demanded police for a safe passage while contacting through wireless set seized by the abducted cops.
Kachi Jamal area is believed to be a bastion of Chotu Gang that borders Dera Bugti in Balochistan.
Of late, police and paramilitary Rangers mounted an offensive against criminal gangs in the lawless Katcha areas of Punjab that border Sindh and Balochistan.
The miscreants in the difficult-to-access area have nexus with banned outfits and have long been committing robberies and kidnappings, and go into hiding.
So much for this inept untrained Police Force. Six Policemen killed against two of the criminals. Who should be sacked? Punjab Law Minister for the criminal negligence? Please advise.
Condolences to the families of the shaheed.
These scum must be finally eleminated!
Hardly anyone has sympathies for Policemen whose sole aim is to disturb innocent citizens. Last Sunday while traveling to Murree, we were stopped by two uniformed clowns. They did not check our ID's rather started unloading our backpacks and sniffed each bottle like dogs. Their aim was to find liquor or drugs. Seems like Paki police has nothing much to do except leave their sisters in dark places to catch youngsters, or find booze and drugs. Find terrorists? No way!
No dear they are victims of this sinister politicians, mafias and businessmen
