Altercation turns deadly as 3 cops killed in Pakistan

An altercation between Pakistani policemen turned deadly today leading to the death of three of them near Quetta's Eastern Bypass.
The altercation initially started between a station house officer, Nur Bux Mengal, and a constable over a trivial matter that escalated into a big fight.
"The constable first opened fire on the SHO, whose guards then responded in retaliation, killing the constable and another policeman on duty," SP Sariyab Abdullah Jan said.
The SHO is also among the deceased.
The bodies of the policemen have been shifted to hospital for post mortem and an investigation into the matter is on.

Policemen have been frequently killed in target killings by suspected separatists and militants in Quetta but this is the first time that such three policemen have been killed over an altercation among themselves.
