Rashid, a constable working in the investigation wing, and two civilians, a pick-up driver and a cleaner were injured in the blast. They were admitted the Hangu Civil Hospital.
Senior police and military officials rushed to the scene along with the bomb disposal squad. Police said they had found the suicide bomber's legs.
