SSP Sajjad Khan heroic performance saves Peshawar from big tragedy
Shares
PESHAWAR - SSP Sajjad Khan was among the first ones who arrived at the Peshawar Agriculture University site around 8.45 am and started operation to target the suicide bombers who could wreak havoc if not contained in time.
The professionalism of the police officer can be gauged from the fact that he was in his sleeping suite when he got to know of the attack, but he did not waste any time to change his outfit and instead headed directly to the training centre.
A picture of him guiding his subordinates while holding a cigarette in his right hand is also stumping the internet, showing his dusty clothes.
Let it be known that at least nine people, including six students were killed and over 30 injured after three terrorists, equipped with heavy weapons, on Friday launched a strike at the hostel of Agricultural Training Institute in Peshawar.
As per the details, the terrorists crashed into the building in a rickshaw, opened fire targeting the guards at the entrance gate and then headed towards the hostel.
Due to holiday on the eve of Eid Milad-un-Nabi, the hostel was officially closed. A witness said that there were 400 people in hostels, but today 150 were present due to the holiday.
