Four rangers personnel martyred after ”miscreants” rammed their car into them

ISLAMABAD: The capital city of Pakistan witnessed intense unrest on Monday night as Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protesters clashed with security personnel at multiple locations.

The violence escalated after miscreants rammed a vehicle into Rangers personnel on the Srinagar Highway, resulting in the martyrdom of four Rangers officials and injuries to five others, including police officers, according to security sources.

So far, six law enforcement personnel, including two police officers, have been martyred during attacks by protesters heading to Islamabad for a sit-in demonstration. Security officials also confirmed that over 100 police personnel have been injured in the clashes, with many sustaining severe injuries, according to Dawn.com.

Earlier in the evening, an alleged attack by PTI workers at Chungi No. 26 injured a Rangers official, who was subsequently shifted to the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) for treatment. Protesters reportedly hurled stones and opened fire on security forces, further escalating tensions.

Authorities are working to identify individuals involved in the attacks, emphasizing that all “malicious elements” will be held accountable.
