On 6 November 2022, an attack on a police camp in the katcha neighbourhood of Ghotki, Sindh, resulted in the deaths of at least 7 police officials, including a DSP (district superintendent of police) and two SHOs (station head officers).[1]
According to police, bandits attacked a police picket in Rawanti, a katcha area of Ghotki with rocket launchers. In the gun battle, seven cops embraced martyrdom including Abdul Malik Bhutto (DSP) and two SHOs.[2]
The bandits seized possession of 10 police cars while holding 20 police officers hostage at the camp. As a result of the incident, reports claim that Sindh Rangers forces and police officers from around the area have been brought in to conduct operations against the dacoits.[3][4]
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the leader of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and the country's foreign minister, has strongly condemned an attack.[5]
