PESHAWAR, July 4: Two people including a policeman were killed and four others injured in three separate attacks here on Monday, police said.

In one of the incidents, suspected militants threw a hand grenade inside a police post at Gulabad near Gulberg early on Monday morning which went off with a bang. It resulted in killing of an alleged dacoit detained in the lock-up and caused injuries to a policeman, an official of Bala Manai police station told Dawn.
