Police shot dead two dacoits—who were real brothers as well—in a police shootout in Kheway Wali in Waziristan, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Police claimed that another accomplice of both dacoits was already killed in the police shootout a month ago.

Wazirabad Police claimed that both accused dacoits were wanted in a number of cases including dacoity, theft and murder of three local traders whom they gunned down over non-payment of ransom.

Police have shifted the bodies to the hospital for post mortem.
