KARACHI: CCTV footage on Wednesday revealed that a female student was mugged during daytime in the Gulistan-e-Jauhar area of the metropolis, raising security concerns in the wake of a number of stabbing incidents that have been reported in the area recently.
The footage showed a robber on a bike trying to stop two female students walking on the road. Feeling anxious, one of the girls started running, while the other one was robbed as the robbers snatched away the girl’s bag and mobile phone. The girl fell down and was briefly dragged on the street as she attempted to resist and the robbers tried to flee.
The incident has been reported at a time when the Karachi police claimed to have deployed additional security in the Gulistan-e-Jauhar area in an attempt to nab the ‘knifeman’ behind the attacks on women in the city.
