KARACHI:
It has been a year since Dr Muhammad Mohsin was forced to experience, what he described, as nothing short of doomsday. His brother and he were at the Jinnah International Airport arrivals lounge to receive their mother who was onboard Pakistan International Airlines’ Flight PK-8303 landing from Lahore.
KARACHI: Three suspected bandits were killed in a shootout with police near Bhains Colony on Tuesday that also led to martyrdom of a policeman, officials said.
They added that a patrolling team of the Sukkan police was informed about an armed robbery in the area in the first half of the day. The patrol party reached the spot and found a milk trader in Bhains Colony had been deprived of cash and valuables by some half a dozen armed robbers only a few minutes ago.
“The patrolling team called for further back-up and started search for the armed bandits who had sped away on motorbikes,” said an official.
