Two arrested for robbing trans victims

Kacha Khoh police arrested two armed robbers just 20 minutes after they looted a car and Rs147,000 in cash from two transgender individuals near Hussaina Chowk.

The suspects were captured following a brief exchange of gunfire, and the stolen property was successfully recovered.

According to police, Preeti and Naeem — both members of the transgender community — were traveling in a car when they were intercepted by two armed suspects, later identified as Taseer and Naqi.

The suspects held them at gunpoint, physically assaulted them, and fled with their vehicle and cash toward Abdul Hakim.

After receiving the complaint, Station House Officer (SHO) Kacha Khoh, Shaiban Goraya, initiated an immediate response. Checkpoints were established, and police teams launched a rapid pursuit of the fleeing robbers.

Within 20 minutes, police intercepted the suspects and engaged in a brief shootout.
