The police told Dawn News that the encounter took place between the police and the bandits at 4-Star Ground in Sector-50.
After an exchange of gunfire, two suspects — later identified as Sameer and Arbaz — were gunned down.
Police claimed they have recovered two pistols, mobile phones and a motorcycle from their custody.
Korangi SSP Hassan Sardar told Dawn News that the both the suspects were fleeing after looting a citizen at Ghaus Pak Road when a head constable of the Zaman Town police station challenged them.
