ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – At least seven dacoits easily escaped after looting a petrol pump in Islamabad’s Jangi Seedan area on Tuesday.
The dacoits opened indiscriminate fire after snatching weapon from guard. They afterwards begin to loot the petrol while taking the staff hostages.
As the dacoits were about to leave with Rs1.5 million, police arrived at the scene but failed to nab them. CCTV footage showed a dacoit walking confidently towards the SHO and shaking hands with him.
The police officer failed to recognize the dacoit which gave him a safe path to flee. It was however too late when the police came to know what actually happened with them.
Police initially showed reluctance in registering the case while giving impression that the incident occurred due to a brawl.
But was compelled to file an FIR after the CCTV footage surfaced.
