KARACHI: Three suspected bandits were killed in a shootout with police near Bhains Colony on Tuesday that also led to martyrdom of a policeman, officials said.
They added that a patrolling team of the Sukkan police was informed about an armed robbery in the area in the first half of the day. The patrol party reached the spot and found a milk trader in Bhains Colony had been deprived of cash and valuables by some half a dozen armed robbers only a few minutes ago.
“The patrolling team called for further back-up and started search for the armed bandits who had sped away on motorbikes,” said an official.
