Police registered a case of attempted murder against two constables of the Frontier Constabulary (FC) and took them into custody on Sunday for allegedly injuring two people over a petty matter.
The two Frontier Constabulary personnel deployed at the water filtration plant near Bari Imam with their platoon fired at the inmates of a house after their objection to the security men's presence there, injuring one Zahir Ahmad, according to police.
Police said the constables, while on a patrol in the Mandyala village, stopped to rest in front of the house. This made the house residents felt uncomfortable. One of the residents named Mohammad Waseem came out and objected to the presence of the security personnel, politely asking them to leave the place. This brought the wrath of the security men and an altercation took place between them.
After hearing the voices, Mr Ahmad, an uncle of Mohammad Wasim, also came out and tried to settle the matter. However, the FC constables started beating them both.
According to police, the FC men indiscriminately fired at villagers who came there to sort out the issue, injuring Mr Ahmad.
The FC constables held Mr Waseem, taking him to the barracks near the water filtration plant. Mr Waseem was detained there although he had suffered multiple injuries.
Mr Ahmad was later taken to hospital. His condition is said to be critical.
On receiving information about the incident, the Secretariat police visited the barracks and tried to get the release of Mr Waseem, but could not succeed.
