Brig. Wasim Ashraf lodged a complaint with the police that robbers entered his house by breaking gate locks in Bilal Omer Shaheed colony and made away with Rs300,000 cash, gold ornaments, mobile phones, a digital camera and other valuables. The police registered a case but no arrests or recoveries had been made till the filing of this report. The colony, previously known as Parade Lane, was renamed after the martyred major-general who died in the audacious December 2009 attack on the Parade Lane mosque that saw around 37 people killed, children, civilians and army officers among them. The colony is home to several army officers’ families, including the top brass and is a highly fortified area.
