Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) personnel placed a security check at Faisalabad Bypass Road after being tipped of terrorists' presence. Meanwhile, the law enforcers signaled a car and two motorcycles to pull over that they opened fire.

The retaliatory fire by CTD personnel killed six terrorists, sources said, who belonged to a banned organisation.
