Unidentified miscreants planted a roadside bomb in Bazid Khel, possibly to target the local aman lashkar. However, it was spotted by locals who informed the police. Police officials rushed to the site along with the bomb disposal squad and successfully defused the device.
“Around 10 kilogrammes of explosives were used in the bomb which had been planted along the main road leading to the village,” said Badhaber SHO Abidur Rehman. He claimed the police foiled a major sabotage bid by defusing the explosives in time.
Meanwhile, four people were brutally killed over a family feud in Zakhel village in the jurisdiction of Mattani police station late Saturday night.
The police said the four accused, Yasin, Jehangir, Mukhtiar and Javed – all clad in police uniforms – barged into the residence of Wahab Khan just before midnight. The accused allegedly locked the women and children in a room and whisked away Khan, his brother Raees, and Raees’s two sons, Maqsood and Ibne Amin.
The abducted men were reportedly killed later, and the accused managed to escape after committing the crime. Locals found the four bodies the next morning and informed the police. An FIR was registered against the alleged killers and police have started investigation.
