Abdul Ghafoor Sarohi. Hyderabad. Oct. 20
A brazen armed robbery shook Hyderabad’s Qasimabad area yesterday, as masked men on motorcycles stormed Shahin Dairy, making off with millions in cash. The daring heist saw the robbers hold staff hostage, only to be confronted by brave employees, one of whom managed to wrestle a pistol from one of the assailants ¹.
In the ensuing exchange of fire, the robbers abandoned their motorcycle and fled on foot, hijacking a citizen’s CD motorcycle to complete their escape. The incident sparked outrage, with locals and business owners taking to the streets in protest, blocking roads and demanding action from authorities.
Notable figures, including PTI leader Afroz Shoro and traders’ representatives Mahboob Abro, Rehmatullah Sand, and Abdul Ghafoor Sarohi, joined the protest, condemning the police’s perceived inaction ¹.
Jasim Memon, owner of Shahin Dairy, estimated the stolen amount at 700,000 to 800,000 rupees. The incident raises concerns about the growing number of armed robberies in the area and the effectiveness of law enforcement in preventing and responding to such crimes ¹.
