A Turkish citizen was robbed of approximately Rs1.5 million and Turkish Liras near Kakar Hotel in Saddar in Karachi. Tekin Maitan reported the robbery to Preedy police and stated that he works for D Baloch Company and had come to Karachi from Hyderabad.
Maitan explained that he had a bag containing the cash and important documents and was on his way to a money changer in his car when a white car suddenly blocked his vehicle.
The individuals in the car that stopped Tekin Maitan’s vehicle were dressed in police uniforms and requested to see his identification and the purpose of his presence in the area. Maitan showed them his passport which they inspected before inquiring about the ownership of the car. He explained that it belonged to his company.
However, the suspects proceeded to snatch Maitan’s bag containing the money and documents before driving away. Despite attempting to stop them by holding the car’s steering wheel, Maitan was unsuccessful in blocking their escape.
Police are investigating the case.
