    Citizen shoots two robbers dead after snatching their gun 

    In Karachi’s Korangi and Baldia Town neighbourhoods on Monday, two alleged robbers were killed and another was injured.

    Within the confines of the Awami Colony police station, a citizen shot and killed two suspects close to Bilal Colony in Karachi’s Korangi area.

    The men who were killed, according to the police, were thieves who attempted to steal money from two people who were leaving a private bank in Korangi. The residents, however, resisted and succeeded in stealing a gun from one of the criminals.

    Later, one of the bystanders fired on them, gravely hurting them. After the incident, a large crowd gathered and violently battered the injured guys. One of them perished as a result, and the other passed away while travelling to the hospital, according to The News.

    The person who killed the robbers, Abrar, owned a business in Korangi, according to SHO Jamal Leghari. The officer said that his check had been turned down at the bank when he had gone with his boss Faizan.

    The man had a cell phone and Rs50,000 in cash, which was taken from him by two motorcycle-riding suspects as he and his colleague were returning from the bank.

    Abrar and Faizan resisted the muggers throughout the mugging, and the former was able to take the muggers’ pistol and shoot them. Police have opened an investigation and registered a case.

    In another news, a robbery suspect was hurt while he and his accomplice attempted to rob a medical supply business in the Baldia Town neighbourhood. The store owner resisted and fired shots at them.

    Nadir, the son of Abdul Khaliq, was named as the injured suspect. He is 30 years old. His sidekick was able to flee the scene. There is a case open, and an investigation is under progress.
