The notorious Chottu gang attacked a police check post in the Kacha area of Rojhan, Rajanpur on Sunday and kidnapped seven elite force personnel.
The gangsters attacked the check post and a gun battle ensued between the police and the attackers ensued.
The gangsters were able to take away seven police officers with them.
The officers have been identified as elite force’s Luqman, Zeeshan, Shakir, Sabir, Jamshed, Safdar and ASI Muzammil.
Following the abduction, heavy contingents of the elite force personnel reached the scene and an operation against the gang is under way to rescue the kidnapped policemen. The entry and exit points of the Kacha area have been sealed and the gangsters surrounded.
Giving a different account of the abduction, DPO Atiq Taabir said the policemen were travelling unarmed on a boat in Moro, when they were ambushed. He added that they were taken away along with the boat.
Last year, an operation was launched by the Pakistan Army that had compelled the Chottu gang to lay down their arms, but some of its members have returned to the area and started operating there again.
Kacha Jamaal in Rajanpur district has served as a hideout of the Chottu gang for years and was even named Chottu Island by the locals. The island is about 11km in length and 6km in width.
For the past three decades, the Rojhan sub-district has been the battleground among Mazaris, Gorchanis and Bugtis. All tribes have supported the gangsters to create a defensive shield against each other.
