KARACHI: A suspected street criminal was killed in an `encounter` in jurisdiction of the Samanabad police station on Saturday night, sources said.

They said the SHO of the police station was carrying out snap checking when his men signalled two men on a motorbike to stop. However, instead of stopping the two men tried to flee.

The policemen chased them and after an encounter one of them was arrested near Shafiq Mor in an injured condition. The other suspect managed to flee from the scene, said SSP Irfan Baloch.
