A man robbing a food center in Karachi, the country’s financial capital, was found to be a member of a federal law enforcement agency.
The suspect, Zahid, has been arrested, and the stolen money and other items have been recovered.
Zahid was on leave at the time, according to media reports. The proprietor of the food center where the heist took place, Adil Jan, told detectives he knew the suspect. Jan revealed they were facing financial problems and that Zahid had taken him to Surjani Town and left him there.
Based on Jan’s identification, paramilitary officials raided Zahid’s home and arrested him, recovering Rs1.8 million in cash and other items.
