On Wednesday, three terrorists fired upon Anwar Khan’s security cover, injuring Khan’s PSO, constable Bilal Ahmad, who is now stable. According to reports, the terrorist tried to snatch the rifles from the security officers, but couldn’t manage.

Incriminating materials including weapon and ammunition have been recovered as well. Currently, the area is being searched for a reported third terrorist.
