Two suspects linked to the Odh gang, suspected in a double murder, were killed in a shootout with the Crime Control Department (CCD) in Attock, according to officials. The suspects, identified as Haq Nawaz alias Haqoo, the alleged mastermind of the Odh gang, and Saleem alias Sheem, were killed by their own accomplices during an exchange of fire near Bota village on Bhattiyot Road.
Two .30-bore pistols were recovered from their possession. The suspects were wanted for the abduction and murder of two individuals in Fatehjang, including an 11-year-old child, Saim Raza, and an unidentified mentally disabled man, both of whom were abducted on September 24. The victims were allegedly killed with axes and sticks, and their bodies disfigured to conceal their identities.
The police claim that the suspects had posed as the victims' relatives and filed a false case against their rivals, accusing them of abducting the daughter for sexual exploitation. The investigation revealed the double murder and identified the complainants as the main suspects.
