Journalism at its worst!

He was returning home when he got attacked, so what's this with the mention of census duty? He was NOT PERFORMING census duty when he was attacked. It changes the whole scenario

Why are "constables" and security personal like a tamed ducks who can be shot by terrorists at their will any time of the day and night?

Shows serious issues Pakistan have wrt security.

In both cases there is injury, but not equally related to the occupation

The policeman could have been picked out to settle any personal scores, could be family issues, could be random drive by shooting. While the news piece suggest an attack on the 'census process' so to say
