Regrettably, the body of the deceased SHO has yet to be transferred to the hospital. This marks a grim recurrence, as SHO Abdul Ali Khan had previously survived multiple attempts on his life.

This latest incident underscores the persistent dangers faced by law enforcement officers in their unwavering commitment to maintaining public safety. The unfolding situation emphasizes the need for heightened security measures and a concerted effort to combat terrorism.
