A Shocking Daylight Robbery in Karachi’s DHA
Karachi has long been known for its vibrant street life and bustling neighborhoods, but recently, an alarming incident unfolded that left many residents shaken. In the upscale Defence Housing Authority (DHA) area, a man named Shahid Hussain became a victim of a brazen daylight robbery, losing a staggering Rs3 million right outside his own home.
On that fateful Tuesday, Hussain had just returned from a bank in the nearby Badr Commercial Area when four armed men on two motorcycles approached him. CCTV footage reveals the harrowing moment: as he stepped out of his car, one of the robbers brandished a weapon and snatched a bag filled with cash from him. Not only did they take the money, but they also opened the bag right there in plain sight to verify the amount before making their swift getaway.
What’s particularly unsettling about this incident is how it unfolded in broad daylight with bystanders all around. Despite the presence of witnesses, the suspects managed to escape without any confrontation. The footage captured one of the robbers clearly, while the others cleverly disguised their identities with caps and masks.
Police have acted swiftly, registering a case based on Hussain’s complaint and initiating an investigation. Everyone is left wondering: how can such an audacious crime take place in one of Karachi’s most secure neighborhoods?
