Naik Bostan Khan of Sindh Rangers, who was injured in a firing incident at an Azad Jammu and Kashmir Police post in Rawalakot, has succumbed to his injuries and embraced martyrdom.
According to an AJK Police spokesperson, the incident involved armed members of a banned organisation who opened fire on the police post last Thursday.
Naik Bostan Khan belonged to Kohat district and was deployed alongside AJK Police at its request to assist in maintaining law and order in the region.
The spokesperson said the incident reflects the violent conduct of armed elements who continue to target law enforcement personnel and undermine peace and stability in the region.
AJK Police expressed deep grief over the martyrdom of Naik Bostan Khan and extended heartfelt condolences to his bereaved family.
The spokesperson reaffirmed that such cowardly acts would not weaken the resolve of law enforcement agencies and that those involved in attacks on security personnel would be brought to justice in accordance with the law.
