It was learnt gunmen invaded the police station around 1.30am on Friday morning, shooting sporadically at the facility. The attack was however resisted and disrupted by security personnel on duty.
The assailants, who engaged the policemen in a gun duel, backed off when they saw that the security operatives were not relenting. During the encounter, the police killed two of the attackers and inflicted severe injuries on others.
