In an unfortunate incident, a man lost his life during an accident in Karachi while trying to escape a robbery.

According to the police, the man, in a bid to get away from the robbers, hit a footpath due to over speeding and lost his life. And as passersby gathered on the spot following the accident, one of the spectators looted the money from the deceased’s pocket.

The incident took place within the limits of the Gabol Town Police Station in North Karachi, where a shopkeeper —identified as Mohammad Hanif — was returning from a bank with his friend after withdrawing an amount of Rs1 million.

“On his way, Hanif suspected that some robbers were following him, so he drove his bike at a greater speed to escape them but ended up hitting a footpath near Nagan Chowrangi,” Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Central Maroof Usman told Geo News.

SSP Usman further said that Hanif died on the spot. And as passersby gathered on the spot following the accident, some of them stole around Rs300,000 from the deceased’s pocket.

According to Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif, accusations made against Pakistan by Bushra Bibi, the spouse of the PTI founder, are vile and disgusting because Pakistan has historical relations to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The defense minister stated at a press conference in Islamabad that the Kingdom should not be involved in politics for selfish reasons because of our historical, religious, and economic ties with Saudi Arabia.

2.8 million Pakistanis work in Saudi Arabia and send millions of dollars in remittances, he added, adding that making unfounded accusations against the country will hurt Pakistan’s economy.

According to him, Saudi Arabia has always stood by Pakistan throughout its most trying moments, and Pakistanis have a deep affection and connection to the Kingdom.

There is a breach among PTI ranks and files, and Khawaja Asif stated that we have never witnessed such a low point in politics.

Given the gravity of the accusation, the Minister said, former Army Chief Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa should respond right away.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government should fight terrorism rather than target the city, he said, adding that the PTI’s demand for a demonstration on November 24 is the third strike on the federal capital.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is not allowed to use the resources of the Provincial Government for a party protest, according to the Interior Ministry.

On November 24, the PTI has scheduled a protest, and Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Gandapur has declared his intention to participate.

The Federal Government arrested a number of Provincial Government officials who were ordered to participate in the violent protest in Islamabad by the PTI, and confiscated vehicles used by the KP Government against the state during the previous protest in October.

However, the Jinnah Supermarket Traders Union has petitioned the Islamabad High Court to halt the PTI demonstration in the capital and deem it unlawful.

In the petition, the head of the Traders Union has asked the court to rule that the PTI protest violates fundamental human rights by preventing companies from operating and removing the public’s ability to visit stores for necessities.

The petition asked the high court to protect the capital’s workers and PTI founder from unlawful protests.
