CTD said it had received an intelligence report that terrorists will be attempting to transfer explosive devices from Khyber Agency to Peshawar. Officials then established a check post on Sheikh Mero Baba Road in Sarband on the outskirts of the city to intercept the suspects.
Two people, riding on a motorcycle, tried to flee when they saw the police check post. But officials managed to overpower them.
One of the men was identified as Bilal, a resident of Masho Khel. The other was identified as Ghulam Habib, a resident of Sheikhabad, Peshawar.
