The level of violence has gone down in Baluchistan to a noticeable extent but still the situation is far from satisfactory. Latest incident of shooting in which three lives were lost in Quetta is yet another stern reminder of this fact. At least three persons, including two police personnel, were killed when the vehicle of a superintendent of police (SP) was attacked while three other people were killed in the incident. An exchange of firing between the police and bike snatchers ensued at Kashmirabad near the Qambrani Road area of the provincial capital on Monday.
Superintendent of Police (SP), Sariab, Zahoor Ahmad, said that unidentified bike snatchers riding a motorbike opened fire at his vehicle when it was crossing the area. Two cops were martyred and three passers-by suffered wounds in the firing. One bike snatcher was killed in retaliatory fire by police.
The bodies and the injured were taken to the Civil Hospital.Police cordoned off the entire area and started efforts to trace out the suspects.
