district on Monday.

A police van came under attack in the Kot-Azam area of Tank district while it was returning from a village, ac­c­ording to a spokesperson for district police. "Militants opened fire on the police van when it was returning from Manjhi village [after duty hours]. As a result, one poli­ceman embraced martyrdom and four others sustai­ned injuries," said police spo­kesman Syed Yaqoob Buk­hari, adding that the att­ackers fled after shooting.

The injured personnel were rushed to Tank district headquarters hospital from where they were referred to Dera Ismail Khan due to unavailability of required facilities, he said, add­ing that law enforcement agenc­ies’ personnel reached the site and launched a search ope­ration against the holy warriors.

The martyred policeman was identified as Khan Nawab, a recruit of Kohat pol­­ice training centre, belo­n­ging to district Swat. Fune­ral prayer for the martyred policeman was later offered at the District Police Office which was attended by officers of law enforcement agencies, police and others.

Same day in another holy warrior attack on a census team, a Frontier Reserve Police (FRP) police constable was martyred in Pirwala area of the Lakki Marwat district.

Escorting the government staff on census duty in the rural area, FRP constable Diljan was seriously maimed when two armed miscreants opened fire on him and escaped, the police said.

Shortly after the shooting, a police contingent, headed by DPO Mohammad Ishfaq Khan, reached the scene and launched a search operation in the area. A rescue 1122 team also rushed to the site and shifted the body to Government City Hospital. The martyred cop’s funeral was held at the District Headquarters Complex in Tajazai.
