A group of armed robbers stormed the residence of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) MNA Zulfiqar Ali Behan near Moro town on Monday morning and fled with cash and valuables worth millions of rupees, media reports have stated.
The robbers held Behan’s family hostage inside their home in Dheran village, Naushahro Feroze district, before escaping in the lawmaker’s Vigo and another car. Police later found the Vigo abandoned a few kilometres away near Dars police station.
Initial reports said the robbers climbed the outer wall to enter the residence and collected jewellery, cash, and other valuables. MNA Behan was not at home when the incident took place.
Police teams, including forensic and tracking units, reached the spot to investigate. Naushahro Feroze SSP Mir Rohal Khan Khoso oversaw the operation and expressed confidence that the culprits would be traced soon.
Speaking to reporters, MNA Behan said the robbery could be part of a “conspiracy involving some influential figures in the area.”
A formal FIR had not been registered till the latest updates.
Police have launched an investigation and are searching for the culprits.
