Hitman killed by accomplice's 'fire'
A contract killer was killed by the alleged firing of his accomplices during a 'police encounter' near Baddrah, police said. Shah Nazar alias Abdul Rehman from Peshawar was accused of murdering two innocent citizens for Rs100,000. He was in police custody at the time he was killed. Fatah Jang police said that the arrested suspect was being taken for evidence recovery. The police team was ambushed near Baddrah, in the vicinity of Hattar, where unknown armed assailants had blocked the road with stones. The suspects opened fire on the police to free the suspect from custody under the cover of darkness. The attackers continued indiscriminate firing and fled the scene. During a subsequent search operation, police found Shah Nazar's dead body near Dhok Namdar. Initial findings suggested he was killed by the bullets fired by his own unidentified accomplices. The police shifted the body for autopsy, registered a murder case against the unknown attackers and began an investigation. In recent months, several suspects have reportedly been killed or injured in similar police encounters in Attock, with the police claiming that all of them were killed or injured by the firing of their own accomplices.

The Iqbal Town SP said the investigation had begun after social media posts about police's involvement in the truck robbery.
