A police constable was killed and at least five other policemen, including a station house officer and a sub-inspector, were injured in suspected terrorist attacks outside two police stations in the Punjab metropolis, police and witnesses said on Friday.Police officials told Daily Times that SHO Rizwan Latif, Sub-Inspector Abdul Razzaq and constable Muhammad Aamir, who is a driver of a police vehicle, were injured when a low-intensity timed-device, fixed inside the vehicle, exploded outside the Lytton Road police station.
They said that another police vehicle was also hit by a timed-device blast near the police station, but no one was injured because the vehicle was empty at that time.
Separately, two gunmen opened fire on a police vehicle outside the Gulshan Ravi police station, where Muhammad Saleem, driver of the police vehicle, as well as constables Muhammad Naseer and Muhammad Masood received bullet injuries. All the injured were taken to nearby hospitals, where Muhammad Saleem succumbed to his injuries.
