A policeman was killed along with his friend when unidentified miscreants opened fire on them in Nowshera district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) on Sunday.
Police told The Express Tribune that Constable Ishfaq was deployed in police lines and he was martyred along with his friend Wahid.
“They were injured in the firing and rushed to a nearby hospital where both of them were pronounced dead on arrival,” said a police official, adding that soon after the attack a large contingent of police reached the area and initiated a door-to-door search operation.
Several suspected individuals were rounded up in the operation and shifted to local police station for interrogation, he said.
The attackers, however, managed to escape after committing the crime.
The slain policeman’s last rites were conducted at Nowshera Police Lines, accompanied by a full guard of honour.
