Two alleged dacoits were killed and as many others fled the scene after an encounter with the Dolphin force in the area of Chak Jhumra police station.
A police spokesman said on Saturday that Dolphin policemen signalled four suspected persons to stop, who were riding two motorcycles near Khichian Chowk at about 11am. However, the motorcyclists attempted to flee away while resorting to firing on the police.
The Dolphin squad started chasing the accused and called Station House Officer (SHO) Chak Jhumra and Elite Force for help.
Due to the chase, the suspects left their two-wheelers along a road near Chak No105 Qazi Wala and hid themselves in a nearby sugarcane crop field. The police besieged the field and ordered the suspected criminals to surrender.—APP
