Truckload of lubricant looted

Incidents of highway robberies are resurging on the M9 Motorway in Jamshoro, where two trucks carrying valuable cargo have been looted within a week. On Sunday, truck driver Kalaamuddin Khan reported to Lunikot police that robbers stole lubricant oil worth Rs140 million. He said a car intercepted their truck, and he and his brother were held at gunpoint, blindfolded, and tied up before being forced into the rear seat of the cabin.

The suspects drove the truck to Bhit Shah, Matiari, where they vanished, leaving the container empty. The shipment, 21,300 liters of oil, was en route from Karachi to Faisalabad. The robbers also took their phones and cash. Although the complaint was filed, an FIR had yet to be registered by evening.

Earlier, on May 17, a truck transporting Rs33 million worth of medicines from Karachi to Rawalpindi was looted similarly. Driver Rehman Hussain said the vehicle was intercepted around 3:35 am, and an FIR was registered at Jamshoro police station.
