The PPRO added that investigation was in progress as the gallant operatives were not relenting in their efforts to arrest the fleeing members of the terrorist group.

Meanwhile, he stated that the corpses of the hoodlums have been evacuated and deposited in a mortuary while efforts to arrest the fleeing suspects were in top gear since, according to him, they cannot go far due to the various degrees of bullet injuries they sustained in the gun duel.

The PPRO stressed that a Police operative who sustained a minor bullet injury was rushed to the hospital for treatment and he was in a stable condition.

The Command, therefore, called on the people of the State to collaborate with the Police and other security agencies in the fight against terrorism and to report any suspicious activities or person(s) seen treating gunshot wound within their community to the nearest police station, asking them to call the Command’s emergency numbers – 08034773600 or 08098880197.
