The suspects had come to the court for a hearing of their case.
According to Thatta SSP Haseeb Afzal Beg, three armed men scaled the rear wall and entered the court compound.
The policemen deployed at the court returned fire but the assailants managed to escape, he added.
The attack left two of the suspects, Usman Soomro and Bakshal Soomro, injured but their condition was out of danger.
Beg further said that the police have arrested Ahmed Tara while they are conducting raids to arrest the remaining two attackers.
Ahmed’s son, Juman Tara, was allegedly killed by the suspects in Thatta a few months ago. The police have yet to register an FIR.
