The identity of the dacoits could not be ascertained, said the local police.
In December 2019, a policeman sustained bullet injuries after the cops tried to intercept suspects in Karachi.
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) East Tanveer Alam said that the incident occurred in Gulshan-e-Iqbal area, within the remits of Aziz Bhatti Police Station.
The two-member motorcycle squad of police tried to intercept a suspected vehicle, he said adding that the suspects opened fire on them, injuring one cop.
The other policemen on the motorcycle, however, remained safe as the suspects flee away from the scene.
