Armed robbers Friday stole a government vehicle that belonged to Additional Coordination Commissioner Syed Nazarat Ali after abducting its driver. Syed Nazarat Ali served as the returning officer (RO) for NA-56 in the recent elections.
According to a spokesperson for the police, the driver, Muhammad Kaleem Khan, reported the incident to the Mandira police station, stating that the crime occurred on the night of February 15.
According to Khan, Syed Nazarat Ali had gone to visit a family member near a local hotel on GT Road at 8pm. While Ali was inside, the two armed suspects approached the official vehicle. One suspect took control of the back seat, while the other, brandishing a weapon, forced Khan out of the driver's seat.
