The four suspects, Amjad, Shakir, Irfan and Usman, had escaped from a jail van in 2008 and were wanted by the police since then.
All four were reportedly involved in serious crimes such as murder and robberies.
Police today found the suspects during a search and killed them in the alleged encounter.
No police personnel were reported to be injured.

In most countries there would be an outcry but in PK it's the only way we can justice. What a terrible state of affairs.
Police here are the thugs themselves.personal experience!!!
Good riddance....justice was served!
GOOD JOB! Our WEAK legal system including judiciary and prosecuting department would have freed them on bails!
The emphasis is on "alleged".I remember Mubashar Luqman exposing such encounters in KharaSuch.
