The gunmen shot military officials in the head and managed to flee the scene. The deceased officers were identified as Lance Naik Rashid and constable Arshad.
The incident occurred near busy thoroughfare at Tibet Centre, when gunmen riding a bike and opened fire on military police van, initially leaving two personnel critically injured and later they died on way to hospital.
The bodies of the officers were moved to PNS Shifa for autopsy.
Police and Rangers contingent reached the site immediately after the incident and cordoned off the area.
The law enforcement agencies also arrested a suspect from a nearby area and moved him to a police station for interrogation.
Sources informed that the investigators have obtained the CCTV footage but it doesn’t seem to be helpful.
Speaking to media on the crime scene, DIG South said 9mm bullet casings were found from the spot. He told that two masked men riding a motorbike opened fire on a military van from back and fled.
They [gunmen] attacked the officers in a cowardly manner, said the DIG.
On November 20, attack on Rangers checkpost had left four Rangers personnel dead in Karachi’s Baldia Town locality.
The ‘operation’ against criminal elements in Karachi was initiated in September 2013 after the federal cabinet empowered Rangers to lead a targeted advance with the support of police against criminals already identified by federal military and civilian agencies for their alleged involvement in targeted killings, kidnappings for ransom, extortion and terrorism in Karachi.
Karachi is set to hold long-awaited local government elections on December 5 and surging attacks on security personnel and law enforcement officers look to be a big security challenge to maintain peace during the local polls.
