Four Alleged Rapists Gunned Down in Shootout During Police Escort in Faisalabad
The four accused—Zahid, Naveed, Islam, and Qasim—were in police custody, facing charges related to a robbery-rape case. While being escorted to Achkira village for evidence recovery, the police team came under attack near Ghulam Muhammadabad by accomplices of the suspects. In the ensuing shootout, the police killed all four accused and the assailants managed to escape.
The slain robbers were allegedly involved in the brutal rape of a woman during a robbery over a month ago.
In a separate incident in April, two dacoits were killed in an alleged encounter with police near Nagin Chowrangi in Karachi after attempting a daylight robbery. The criminals were shot as they attempted to flee following the robbery of a citizen withdrawing cash from an ATM.
