Two dacoits were killed while three others managed to escape after encounters in Ghulam Muhammad Abad and Nishatabad police limits. A police spokesman said on Thursday that four bandits snatched a motorcycle, Rs 40,000 and other items from Danial Naseer near Subhan Allah Chowk and escaped. On information, a police team reached the spot and chased the criminals riding on three motorcycles. The policemen encircled them near Base Line but the outlaws opened indiscriminate firing at the officials. During the encounter, one of the criminals received injuries due to firing of his own accomplices and fell down on the ground while others fled away. The police shifted the injured to a local hospital but he died. The police recovered weapons, cash and a motorcycle, and started investigation to arrest the others.
