PESHAWAR: A police official was killed while another critically wounded as they were attacked by armed assailants in Mardan, here on Wednesday (today).
The personnel were on duty to provide protection to the polio team rendering their services in the Mosom Corona area of the city.
The injured policeman is being provided medical treatment and is fighting for his life at the hospital.
Following the heinous incident, the law enforcement agency has begun extensive search operation in the area.
It is pertinent to mention here that security personnel are being attacked across the country as it seems a drive to target them to create law and order situation on eve of general elections.
The situation becomes more delicate in the case of polio team attacks, as several workers were brutally gunned down in the past during the health campaign.
