Two armed bandits robbed Alkhidmat Foundation’s fund-raising camp for the flood victims in the PWD area of Islamabad on Monday.
One of the leading charitable organizations in Pakistan, Alkhidmat Foundation, had set up a fund-raising camp to help the flood victims after severe floods wreaked havoc across the country resulting in a large number of displaced people and damaged infrastructure.
However, the camp was robbed by 2 gunmen who arrived on motorbikes and took away Rs. 20,000 in cash and commodities that were collected for the flood victims after holding the complainant and three others at gunpoint. In addition, they snatched away mobile phones and motorbikes from volunteers of the foundation.
A journalist at the local news outlet, Rizwan Ahmed Ghilzai, reported the incident on Twitter, which sparked criticism on the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Police.
