ISLAMABAD, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- Four people, including a policeman, were killed in two separate incidents in the last 24 hours in Pakistan's northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province, police told media on Tuesday.

A police constable was shot dead in the Jamal Garhi area of Mardan district of the province on Tuesday morning, police said.

The proscribed militant outfit Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) took responsibility of the killing, local media said. However, police said it was a matter of personal enmity.

Separately, three individuals from the Bannu district of the province were abducted by unknown men on Monday night from a shop in Mir Ali market in North Waziristan district of the province, police said.

The abductees were killed in the fields on the outskirts of the area, police said, adding that the dead bodies were recovered early Tuesday morning.

The investigation of the incident was underway, according to police.

In a key development, the TTP on Monday called off a ceasefire with the government in a statement, which was agreed upon in June this year. Enditem
