ISLAMABAD:
A man was deprived of Rs2.6 million at gunpoint in Sector I-10 in broad daylight on Monday. Shujaur Rehman, a manager at Custom Clearance Transportation Company, drew Rs2.6 million from Habib Bank in Sector I-9/3 and was going to deposit the amount in a bank in I-10 Markaz when his car was intercepted by two armed men riding a corolla (GA-3460). They snatched the cash and sped away. Police said the bank’s CCTV footage shows two suspicious persons observing Rehman withdrawing the money. AIG Sultan Azam Temuri, who is also the spokesperson for the Islamabad Police, declined to comment on the robbery. The IG’s PRO, Ziaul Qamar, however, said the suspects had fled to Rawalpindi after the incident and the garrison city’s police had been contacted.
