One of the gunmen was neutralised while the other gang members fled the scene.
Items recovered by the operatives included one type O6 rifle, one magazine and 53 live ammunition of 5.56mm and charms.
A statement by the Command said, “The Police Operatives decisively dealt with the assailants.
“During the gun duel, one of the gunmen was neutralised and due to the superior fire of the Police operatives, the other assailants fled the scene. The station was secured and all police operatives and arms are intact.
