Three alleged criminals sustained bullet injuries during two separate reported shootouts with the Sattiana and Jaranwala Saddar police in Faisalabad on Saturday.

A police spokesperson said that SHO Sattiana, Inspector Aftab Ahmed, along with his subordinates, was on routine patrol near the 74-GB link road when three armed men emerged from a sugarcane field.

Upon seeing the police, the armed men tried to flee from the spot and opened fire. The police also retaliated in self-defense. When the gunfire stopped, the policemen found one injured person at the spot.

The man sustained bullet injuries fired by his own accomplices.

The injured suspect, identified as Delawar Khan alias Delawari, was taken into custody and shifted to a hospital.

Police claimed that the accused had over three dozen cases registered against him at different police stations.

When firing stopped, police found two suspects on the spot who sustained bullet injuries from gunfire by their fellows. The injured were identified as Ali Ahmed and Zain Ali.
