LAHORE – Two robbers shot dead a police constable’s wife and critically injured the policeman for putting up resistance when the couple was returning home after attending a wedding in the Ghalib Market Police Station precincts. Police registered a case against unidentified robbers on Mujahid Squad Constable Bilal’s complaint but no arrests have been made until filing of this report. The deceased was identified as Arooj, 18.
According to sources, Bilal and Arooj got married around two months ago and were returning from a wedding at Gulberg Park. As they reached Shibli Road, two armed motorcyclists intercepted their motorcycle and demanded them to hand over valuables. Bilal resisted with the dacoits on which the robbers indiscriminately fired at the couple resulting in Arooj’s instant death. The robbers managed to flee after looting cellular phones and jewelry.
Local residents shifted both of them to hospital where the constable’s condition is reported to be critical. Police reached the spot and collected some evidence while Arooj’s body was shifted to the morgue.
