KARACHI:

A well-known chef, Shireen Anwar, was robbed at gunpoint by unidentified robbers near Tariq Road on Wednesday.

According to details, Anwar had gone to Tariq Road when unidentified robbers snatched her jewelry, cash, and phone at gunpoint.

The injured police officials, identified as ASI Asghar, Constable Ghulam Hussain, and Constable Saddam, were immediately shifted to a nearby private hospital for medical assistance. Police took immediate action and arrested the security guard, identified as Hussain Ahmed, and recovered the weapon from him.

According to Super Highway Police Station SHO Faisal Jaffri, an illegal warehouse was constructed by land grabbers near the Super Highway New Sabzi Mandi. A case was registered at the SITE police station against the illegal occupation.
