Two suspects were killed in an alleged encounter with the Crime Control Department (CCD) of Lahore Police on Wednesday.
According to a CCD spokesperson, the incident took place in the Shahdara area after the department received information about a street crime involving two motorcyclists.
When police conducted a raid in response to the alert, the suspects allegedly opened fire on CCD personnel, triggering an exchange of gunfire. During the encounter, both suspects, reportedly a father and son, sustained critical injuries and later died while being transported to the hospital.
The deceased were identified as 55-year-old Fazlur Rehman and his 25-year-old son, Ameer Abbas. Their bodies have been sent for post-mortem.
According to CCD officials, two other suspects fled the scene. The CCD further stated that the killed suspects were wanted in several serious criminal cases. A special team has been formed to track down the fleeing suspects.
