Faisalabad 8 Oct (DIGITAL ITLA): A hardened criminal wanted in numerous cases of dacoity, robbery, and theft was killed during an alleged police encounter with the Saddar Jaranwala police, while two of his accomplices managed to escape under the cover of darkness.
According to police reports, SHO Saddar Jaranwala Sub-Inspector Malik Imran had set up a picket near the Sidhwanwala Road canal bridge along with a police contingent.
