Three suspects wounded, arrested after shootout with CCD Attock

ATTOCK, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 27th Mar, 2026) Three members of an inter-district criminal gang, including its ringleader, were arrested in a wounded condition following a shootout with the Counter-Crime Department (CCD) team within the jurisdiction of Saddar Police Station on Thursday.

According to police sources, the CCD team was conducting routine snap-checking on March 26, 2026, when they encountered a group of suspected drug peddlers and motorcycle snatchers. Upon being signaled to stop, the suspects allegedly opened indiscriminate fire on the police party in an attempt to evade arrest. The police returned fire in self-defense, resulting in gunshot injuries to three suspects who were subsequently neutralized and taken into custody.

The arrested individuals have been identified as Khurram Meer, the gang’s ringleader and a resident of Fateh Jang; Mohammad Irfan, a resident of Wah Cantt; and Asad Naseem, a resident of Jand.

The accused are habitual offenders with a criminal record spanning dozens of cases involving narcotics, highway robbery, and motorcycle theft. During the exchange of fire, one accomplice managed to escape into the darkness while continuing to fire at the police.

Illegal firearms and ammunition were recovered from the possession of the arrested suspects. The injured were shifted to the DHQ Civil Hospital for medical treatment under police custody. Meanwhile, CCD Attock has launched a search operation to apprehend the fleeing suspect, and further investigations are underway.
