According to the CTD, after the road blast, police were deployed at all entry and exit points of Lahore to stave off any further threats.
As police approached a vehicle for a search at check point, armed men inside the vehicle opened fire, according to CTD officials.
A senior official of the department described that police effectively responded, and in retaliatory fire, four terrorists were killed, while three others managed to flee the scene due to darkness, a CTD official said further.
The law enforcer claimed to have seized a huge quantity of arms and ammunition from the custody of the slain terrorists who are believed to be affiliated with the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan.
After the operation, a heavy contingent of police was called in the area to launch search operations to apprehend the accomplices of the slain terrorists.
