A search operation has been launched in the area to track down the absconding suspects. Police further revealed that since June 30, seven people have been killed in various alleged encounters across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The operation has sparked mixed reactions on social media. Some citizens termed it a fake encounter, accusing police of extrajudicial measures.“Who ordered the police to shoot? What role does the court and law have?” one user questioned. Others expressed doubts over the authenticity of the bodies shown.

On the other hand, many lauded the action, calling it an effective step in curbing crime.“Such elements should be dealt with strictly because courts often release them,” a resident wrote.
