Zahid's brother then killed one of the robbers and wounded the other with his knife.

The police arrested the wounded robber and started further investigations.

Hamid Siddiqui | 13 years ago | Reply I will not say welldone, but I know this is the result in hights of being helpless, feeling no body cares, having no trust in the judiciary , judges, governments and security agencies, and when this situation comes, one take decision in own hands. This should be an eye opener for our government, and shoud be ashaamed that the citizens are so disappointed, that they do not beleive in false promises or the corrupt system any more. And it is a warning that if it continues, cases like this or the DHA rape case, that day is not very far that a crowd will be chasing every minister and will drag them to punish them selves. Kindly do not mix it with Reymond Davis case as that was a cold murder by an implanted terrorist on a open street, where as this was purely to save himself and his belongings, there could have been a middle way, but in a resistance of self defence this happens.

rfmirza | 13 years ago | Reply This is what Raymond Davis also was involved in...self defense. Then why is he made a villian and this shopkeeper: Zahid a hero. Sheer double standards.

Saad | 13 years ago | Reply You can't exactly blame them if the police did nothing to help them, but something needs to be done before this situation gets out of hand as well

M.Qasim | 13 years ago | Reply But lets hope that the robber himself is not a policemen or any of their relative, then the shopkeeper would certainly be in great trouble.

waqar ahmed | 13 years ago | Reply Good Job, Next Episode, Police will arrest the shop keeper and will take more bribe than what the robber has been killed for.

Hassan | 13 years ago | Reply Can someone please start killing these worthless policemen.

AK | 13 years ago | Reply This is the display of complete state failure where institutions are worthless and useless.

Ahmed Iqbalabadi | 13 years ago | Reply This being in self defence, can be considered in good light, however, if this trend begins, we are then in for trouble. Anyone can kill anyone.

Yousuf | 13 years ago | Reply AWESOME! TRULY AWEOSMENESS!

I See Dumb People | 13 years ago | Reply Well done, shopkeepers! Hats off to you. Repeated failure of the police shows their complicity in such crimes. Let the mobs deprive the state of its police powers.
