Upon spotting the police force approaching their hideout, the suspects initiated a barrage of fire which was met with gunfire from the policemen. The exchange of gunfire persisted intermittently for approximately two hours. Following the cessation of the shooting, the area was thoroughly searched by the police, uncovering the corpses of two POs, later identified as Maskeenullah and Naseemullah, who were residents of Daud Khel.

DPO Waqar Azeem Kharal commended the police team for successfully executing the operation.",
