KARACHI, June 23: Police have failed to make any headway in tracking down the gang which committed a robbery in the house of a senior journalist, Mehmood Sham, on Sunday.
The gang of five robbers barged into the house of Mr Sham, group editor of Jang, in Gulshan-i-Iqbal and decamped with cash, jewelry and other valuables after holding the inmates hostage at gunpoint.
SP of Gulshan Town Sohail Zafar Chatta told Dawn that a special investigation team comprising SHO, SPO and SIO had so far got no clue to the culprits. “The investigation is under way and we are making hectic efforts to get a clue to the robbers,” he said on Monday.
