Summary Sindh Home Minister Zia-ul-Hassan Lanjar takes notice of the robbery
ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) - Edhi Foundation said on Friday that armed men looted Rs6.5 million from its centre in Karachi, saying the amount stolen were salaries meant for the organisation’s volunteers.
Saad Edhi, a member of the charity and grandson of the late philanthropist Abdul Sattar Edhi who founded the organisation, said the robbery took place at the Edhi Foundation’s center in Karachi’s Sohrab Goth area.
He said Edhi Foundation members had arrived at the centre with cash they had withdrawn from a bank to pay to the organization’s volunteers. Edhi said four armed men came at the center shortly afterwards and robbed the place.
“The men came and they knew exactly who had the money, where it was kept, and what the situation was,” Edhi told the media.
“They had precise information. The Edhi Sohrab Goth centre is a very large facility, and they knew exactly where they had to go,” he added.
In a CCTV footage shared by the Edhi Foundation, three men with cloths wrapped around their faces and guns in their hands can be seen walking inside the centre.
