Two police personnel were killed, and three were injured when dacoits attacked a police checkpost in the Kacha area of Kandhkot, Sindh, on Wednesday night.
According to the police, more than 20 dacoits resorted to indiscriminate firing at the checkpost. The cops retaliated, which resulted in the death of a dacoit. Shortly afterward, a heavy contingent of police reached the crime scene. The bodies and the injured were shifted to a hospital.
The martyred personnel were identified as Allah Dino Sabzoi and Nisar Ahmad Kalhoro, while those injured were Zahid Naseerani and Anwar Channa, the force said. The dacoits fled to the kacha area while firing into the air.
Dacoits in the kacha area (riverine) are a significant law and order issue in Sindh. These outlaws often kidnap people for ransom, while law enforcement agencies have so far failed to take effective action against them. It is also said that some political leaders have a nexus with these dacoits.
