Islamabad: Pakistan police have arrested a Teghani tribe chief Tegho Khan Teghani, his sons and associates from Karachi over their alleged involvement in Shikarpur incident in which dacoits martyred two police personnel and a photographer, media reports said.

The accused people were arrested from Gulistan-e-Jauhar area of the metropolis.

Two policemen were martyred and four others were injured on Sunday in an ongoing operation against dacoits in the riverbed area in Khanpur, an area of Shikarpur district in Sindh, reports The Express Tribune.

The outlaws attacked an armoured personnel carrier (APC) with rockets and anti-aircraft guns, killing the policemen, the newspaper reported.

Shikarpur SSP Ameer Saud Magsi told the newspaper that the influential tribal chief and his sons are involved in kidnapping for ransom cases and claimed that they also provide protection to bandits.

"The dacoits in Garhi Tegho area of Shikapur where police conducted an operation on Sunday to free abductees have also connected with the tribal chief," the SSP said, adding that outlaws with latest weapons and antiaircraft guns attacked police and martyred cops and a civilian photographer who facilitated the police in operation.

"We have arrested them following the registration of FIR [first information report] of recent killing in Shikarpur wherein we have nominated them as facilitator of the dacoits," he added.
