ISLAMABAD: Authorities are trying to identify a criminal gang that took away cash, jewelry and other valuables from the residence of Dr. Abdul Qadir Khan’s close relative last month, confirmed a senior police officer while talking to Arab News on Thursday.
“We have registered the complaint and assigned teams to investigate the matter,” Muhammad Omer Khan, Superintendent Police (City Zone) Islamabad, said. “We have also recovered the phones which were taken during the robbery and are working on other leads.”
The SP police said he would share full information of the case with the media after the investigation was over.
“It will be premature to share information on how things are going at the moment,” he continued.
Dr. Khan, who played a vital role in developing Pakistan’s nuclear program, told Arab News that the criminal gang tied up his family before robbing his daughter’s house.
“When my daughter introduced herself, they apologized but did not stop,” Khan said.
He informed that the robbers took away cash, jewelry and mobile phones while providing details of the stolen items.
“They dropped the mobile phones in a nearby market which were later recovered,” he added.
The Islamabad High Court recently noticed the rising crime rate in the federal capital and criticized the government for not doing enough to enforce law.
The capital city police chief was also changed this week after members of anti-terror squad gunned down a 21-year-old university student in the beginning of the month.
