Yesterday, 5 to 6 Kharijites from Akakhel Shadley, Tirah area of Khyber district, were trying to enter Sangra area of Orakzai on 3 motorcycles.
The locals of Sangra bravely surrounded them upon seeing the suspicious movement.
On receiving the information, police personnel immediately reached the spot and exchanged fire with the Kharijites.
During the firing, one of the Kharijites hid in a tailor shop in Sangra market to avoid arrest. The police personnel took timely action and arrested him along with his facilitator.
Both the arrested Kharijites were shifted to an unknown location for further investigation.
This timely cooperation of the public and the police thwarted a major potential threat.
The spirit of the locals and the professional performance of the police are commendable.
