RAWALAKOT: A Sindh Rangers official injured in an attack on a police checkpoint in Rawalakot has died, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Police said Monday.
Naik Bostan Khan, who was from Kohat district, was serving alongside AJK Police after being deployed to support local law-and-order operations. He was wounded when armed assailants opened fire on the checkpoint on November 5.
Police said the attackers were members of a banned organisation that had repeatedly targeted security personnel. They condemned the attack, saying it threatened regional peace and stability, and pledged to bring those responsible to justice.
AJK Police expressed condolences to Khan’s family and paid tribute to security personnel who lose their lives protecting the public. They said the attack would not undermine law enforcement officers’ resolve.
