MANSEHRA: The Abbottabad Anti-Terrorism Court on Saturday remanded into police custody 40 miscreants, who had fired at the policemen during the ongoing anti-encroachment drive in Naran area of Kaghan valley.
Talking to reporters here, Mansehra district police officer Asif Bahadar said the miscreants were arrested when they blocked the Mansehra-Naran-Jalkhad (MNJ) Road to traffic for many hours and fired at a police contingent, causing injuries to Balakot DSP, a constable and four others.
He said the accused were produced in the ATC, which handed them over to the police on a four-day physical remand.
“We have observed maximum restraint during the ongoing anti-encroachment operation and resorted only to firing in the air and tear gas shelling, that too in retaliation to quell the resistance put up by the owners of the illegal buildings,” Mr Bahadur said.
