| [DAWN] Two coppers manning a picket in the placid provincial capital's Iqbal Town area were bumped off by three unidentified motorcyclists on Wednesday evening. Both the slain coppers, Constables Muhammad Asif and Mubashir, were deployed from police lines to perform duty at a security check post in Chanab Pulli area, said a senior police official. The coppers signalled three motorcyclists to stop but they shot up them. Both the officials suffered critical injuries and were rushed to Jinnah Hospital where the doctors pronounced them dead on arrival. Iqbal Town Division Superintendent of Police (SP) Operations Dr Muhammad Iqbal told Dawn that police have cordoned off the area and launched a search operation to nab the attackers. He said the attackers fled towards Moon Market area after shooting the coppers. |
