Discussing a shooting incident that resulted in the murder of a young man who didn’t comply while being robbed, Additional Inspector General (AIG) of Police Jawed Alam Odho Friday urged Karachi’s citizens not to confront thieves.
The police chief also announced the apprehension of one of the two bandits who killed a 21-year-old NED University of Engineering and Technology student, Bilal Nasir. He was a petroleum engineering student.
During the mugging attempt, he was successful in capturing one of the robbers but the perpetrator started shooting his gun up close.
The teen was shot in the torso and legs, killing him instantly. He was the youngest of four brothers and lived in the Dastagir Society in the Federal B Area.
Following the event, the Karachi police chief appointed an inquiry team led by the senior superintendent of police for District East (SSP).
The police squad entered a neighborhood in Afghan Basti on Friday morning using CCTV video and other information, and after an exchange of gunfire, they caught one of the culprits Nizamuddin who was injured while his partner managed to flee.
Later, during a press conference, Javed Alam Odho stated that the other suspect will be apprehended shortly.
Everyone’s life is precious, but people in Pakistan resist robberies because they know that the robbers will not be caught by the Police and they themselves have to do something to protect their belongings, Police won’t do it. Also if people keep dying in such mugging incidents, it becomes a nightmare for Police and they have to work under a lot of pressure, that is why Add.IG is suggesting to not resist, so you don’t get shot and Police can avoid searching for criminals.
