Man robbed of Rs3m at his doorstep

KARACHI:

A man was robbed of Rs3 million in broad daylight, outside his home, in the upscale Defence Housing Authority (DHA) area on Tuesday.

According to police, four unidentified armed men riding two motorcycles snatched the cash from Shahid Hussain near Rehman Mosque in DHA Phase IV, within Gizri Police Station limits. CCTV footage of the incident has surfaced, showing the suspects committing the crime.

Hussain had just returned from a bank in Badr Commercial Area, located in the jurisdiction of Darakhshan Police Station, and was stepping out of his car when the robbers struck. One suspect pulled out a weapon from a bag and forcibly took the cash-filled bag from the vehicle. The suspects even opened the bag on the spot to confirm the amount before fleeing the scene.

The footage shows passers-by present at the time of the robbery, but the suspects managed to escape without resistance. One suspect’s face is clearly visible in the footage, while the others wore caps, masks, or helmets, to hide their identities. Police have registered a case on the complaint of the victim and launched an investigation.
