Police Officer Robbed in Khanewal Street Crime Incident

Street crimes continue to pose a threat to public safety, with even off-duty law enforcement officials falling victim to robberies. In a recent incident in Khanewal, Shahid Iqbal, the son of Muhammad Aslam and a police officer, was robbed on his way home in Mri Sahu from Kabir Walla late at night.

According to the First Information Report (FIR) filed by Shahid Iqbal, he was intercepted by three armed bandits who robbed him at gunpoint. The criminals took away Rs. 20,000 in cash, his mobile phone, and his motorbike, a CD-70 model. However, the situation took a turn when three passersby named Qamar, Qaiser Iqbal, and Muhammad Aslam intervened during the altercation with the muggers. Their timely intervention caused the robbers to flee towards the Bara Meel area.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the escalating street crimes in the region, highlighting the vulnerability of both civilians and law enforcement officials alike. The brazen nature of the robbery, targeting a police officer, underscores the need for enhanced security measures and vigilance to combat such criminal activities.
