An ambulance of the Punjab University was lifted by unidentified thieves from the premises of PU, in the precincts of Muslim Town Police, on Monday. Per details an ambulance with registration number LOT-5176, owned by the PU, was parked in the parking of the Council Hall. On Monday, some robbers involved in a car lifted the ambulance and managed to escape from the scene. Muslim Town Police Investigation In charge Ghulam Hussain Bhatti told Pakistan Today that the administration of the PU have mentioned in the FIR that a watchman of Hall Council after noticing the missing ambulance immediately contacted another watchmen deputed at the entry/exit gates.
He said though the message was well-communicated among the watchmen after the ambulance went missing but the watchman deputed at the entry/exit gate did not stop the ambulance, mistaking it to be carrying a patient. He said investigations were underway and the police investigators on Tuesday will record statements of all the watchmen in order to clear their position. Investigators doubted that the ambulance might be lifted by the terrorists for carrying out suicide bombing in the city.
