Notorious outlaw killed in shootout with police.

OKARA -- A notorious dacoit was killed in a shootout with police here. According to police, District Police Officer (DPO) Jahanzeb Nazeer had advised them to continue daily search operations and patrol in the district. In compliance with the DPO's orders, Haveli police were on a routine patrol near Khurpa village when they spotted two motorbike riders and signalled them to stop. But the bike riders accelerated the speed of the bike, leaving the police with no choice but to run after them.

Near Matanwala village level crossing, the accused sprayed a volley of bullets on the policemen which the latter retaliated befittingly.

After some time, firing from the side of accused stopped, enabling the police to move forward. They found the dead body of one of the accused lying in their way; they also recovered a gun, bullets, and a motorcycle beside him. His accomplices managed to escape under the cover of darkness.

Later, the deceased was identified as notorious dacoit Tanveer alias Tanni Kamboh of village 6/SP who was wanted in dozens of murder and dacoity cases. The same dacoit had shot dead a local trader named Abdul Hamid few days ago.
