DIJKOT:
A woman and her accomplices robbed a differently-abled rickshaw driver.
They reportedly took away his rickshaw, cash and mobile phone after thrashing him.
The robbers are also suspected of shooting and injuring a citizen who tried to confront them.
The complainant, Mushir Ahmed, is a polio patient who drives a rickshaw for a living.
According to him, he had parked his rickshaw on Dive Road where a woman approached him and requested a ride to Ram Diwali. They agreed on a fare of Rs400 and she took a seat in the rickshaw.
While they were crossing the Sargodha Road bypass, the woman told Mushir that she had lost her way and needed to make a phone call to get directions.
About 10 minutes later, two armed men wearing shirts and rousers with light beards commandeered the rickshaw and took off with Rs 8,000 in cash, a mobile phone and the vehicle.
The police reached the spot, registered a case against the robbers and launched a search for them.
In another incident, bandits intercepted Abdul Jabbar of 96RB with the intention of robbery. Upon resistance, they shot and injured him. The victim was transferred to the Allied Hospital.
