Two robbers killed during 'encounter' in Pakistan, relatives stage protest
Security officials of Pakistan's Korangi region killed two suspected robbers in an alleged encounter on Sunday.
Relatives of one of the suspected robbers, however, staged a protest demonstration in Quaidabad and alleged that the police shot 17-year-old Arbaz seven times from a very close range in a “staged” encounter.
The police told Dawn News that the encounter took place between the police and the bandits at 4-Star Ground in Sector-50.
After an exchange of gunfire, two suspects — later identified as Sameer and Arbaz — were gunned down.
Police claimed they have recovered two pistols, mobile phones and a motorcycle from their custody.
Korangi SSP Hassan Sardar told Dawn News that the both the suspects were fleeing after looting a citizen at Ghaus Pak Road when a head constable of the Zaman Town police station challenged them.
