KARACHI: Sindh Inspector General (IG) AD Khawaja awarded Rs50,000 prize to citizen Yasir Jamil on Wednesday for his gallantry against alleged robbers.
The Sindh police chief also urged other citizens to make similar efforts and help the police forces in fighting crimes in the provincial capital. Yasir had shot dead the two suspected muggers when they tried to rob him late on Sunday evening in the Rizvia Society, Nazimabad area, police sources told the reporters.
The suspects came on a motorbike and reportedly intercepted Yasir’s family travelling in a car in Urdu Bazaar area with the intention of robbery. “Yasir, who had a licenced pistol, opened fire on them,” said SSP Investigation Central Arab Mahar.
He said, “One suspect died on the spot while the other succumbed to his wounds during treatment at the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital. Their identity could not be ascertained immediately.”
He added that Yasir also had left the scene by the time police arrived there. However, the witnesses informed the SSP investigation central that the men killed in the incident were robbers. The police further said that investigations were also underway.
