Police had registered cases against Sardar Abdul Rehman Khetran, his son and eight others for kidnapping three policemen and snatching weapons from them.
A senior police official who declined to be named told a private TV channel that a team of police comprising personnel of Anti Terrorist Force (ATF) was already dispatched to Barkhan to arrest the Sardar. “Before the arrival of ATF party, Sardar Khetran surrendered before police”, he added.
