KHANEWAL: A suspected terrorist was killed while another outlaw and two personnel of law enforcement agencies sustained injuries in a cross firing incident in Mianchannu, some 35 kilometres away from Khanewal in Punjab on Friday.

According to RPO office sources, police along with law enforcement agencies on a tip-off established a picket at bridge 84/15L near a sugar mill in the limits of Chubb chowky police station.

They signalled a vehicle to stop but the driver sped-up and opened fire on police which was retaliated by the law enforcement agencies.

The paramilitary force chased the criminals when they tried to escape the site and in the shoot-out, an alleged terrorist was shot dead and another sustained bullet injuries.

Two officials of the agencies including Danish and Rashid also sustained injuries and were rushed to a local hospital.

Police and security agencies cordoned off the area and launched an initial investigation into the incident.
