He was one of the first senior policemen to reach the Agriculture Directorate where terrorists had taken hostage the students in hostels and resorted to intermittent firing. Khan led from the front in operation against suicide bombers in order to clear the site as soon as possible to avoid the loss of precious lives.
The attack of gun-laded terrorists was foiled by brave policemen like him in the Peshawar police department.
He was photographed wearing a sleeping suit, wearing a Klashinkof on his shoulder and cigarette in his hand. The extremely courageous officer took the internet by storm as people commended him for his service to the nation.
At least nine were killed with 38 injured as five burqa-clad terrorists stormed the building and resorted to intermittent firing. The area was cleared by the security force after the operation while those injured are undergoing medical treatment.
