In a robbery early this morning, nine armed assailants targeted a gas station near the National Highway close to Khairpur, resulting in the theft of 1.2 million rupees and injuries to the staff.
The incident occurred at Khanpur Mor, where the attackers engaged in a violent confrontation with the station employees. The station’s guard, Ali Dar Junejo, was severely injured during the attack and was later transferred to Civil Hospital Khairpur for immediate medical assistance.
Despite the severity of the crime, the response from law enforcement agencies was notably slow, with police arriving at the scene six hours after the incident. This delay has sparked concern and criticism among local residents, highlighting issues in emergency response protocols.
According to the latest reports, authorities have yet to register a formal case, leading to unrest in the community over the lack of immediate actions for resolving the crime and apprehending the culprits.
Authorities are urged to expedite the investigation process and ensure justice. This incident underscores the need for more effective law enforcement measures to protect businesses and their employees from such traumatic events.
