Confirming the development to Dawn.com, Kech District Police Officer (DPO) Muhammad Baloch said “around 20 miscreants” attacked the Naseerabad Police Station in the early hours of Tuesday.
He said constables Essa and Hassan tried to engage the attackers but the former was martyred during the exchange of fire.

A heavy contingent of police have reached the spot.
Search operation is currently going on.
