A policeman was killed and two officers were injured in the gunfight that occurred on Saturday morning near Janakipur village in Nalgonda district, about 175 km from here.

Shooting erupted when a police party engaged in combing operations came face to face with the gangsters, who earlier gunned down two policemen and injured two others in Suryapet town in the same district on Thursday.
