Ayubi's mischievous activities during a robbery had taken him to fame on the social media.

GUJRANWALA (Dunya News) – The father of an ATM thief and conman, Salahuddin Ayubi of Gujranwala’s Kamonkay district, on Monday refused to receive the dead body of his son until registration of an FIR against policemen whom he accused of being involved in his son’s death.

Ayubi’s father, Afzal told the media that his son’s autopsy report hasn’t been issued by the hospital’s administration so far. He pleaded with higher authorities for justice.

According to policemen, Ayubi had some mental health issues and died as his health deteriorated under custody. They had told the media that he had been doing some ‘foolish things’ under police custody.

He had been rushed to a hospital when his health deteriorated, where doctors declared him dead upon arrival.

Police told the media that the actual cause(s) of his death would be ascertained after his autopsy report.

A few days ago, in a video that went viral on social media, the man can be seen stealing from an ATM after breaking open a machine in Faisalabad and sticking his tongue out in jest at both the camera in the corner of the booth and the one installed in the machine itself.

On Friday, the man once again entered an ATM booth – this time in Rahim Yar Khan – and was in the process of breaking the machine’s exterior when he was caught red-handed by other customers.

Ayubi’s mischievous activities during a robbery had taken him to fame on the social media.

A case was registered against the accused thief under Sections 411 (dishonestly receiving stolen property), 427 (mischief causing damage to the amount of fifty rupees), 454 (lurking house trespass or house-breaking in order to commit offence punishable with imprisonment) and 380 (theft in dwelling, house, etc) of the Pakistan Penal Code.
