Four capital police officers arrested for robbery at Chinese nationals' home in Islamabad
Four uniformed capital police officials were detained after a robbery at a house in Islamabad's F-7/1 sector where two Chinese nationals lived.
A police officer confirmed that four capital police officials, all in uniform, were arrested for participating in a dacoity at a house in Islamabad's F-7/1 sector. The gang, accompanied by an accomplice, entered the property around 2:20 am, removed a night-shift security guard and driver, and later brought them back inside with a black Toyota Corolla fitted with a police light. Three of the intruders, wearing police uniforms, held two Chinese nationals at gunpoint and looted approximately Rs2 million in cash and a mobile phone worth Rs15,000.
The incident was recorded on CCTV, which helped investigators pinpoint the suspects. A case was registered under Section 395 of the Pakistan Penal Code, and legal proceedings have begun against the arrested officers.
Why it matters
The arrests expose corruption within law enforcement and raise concerns about the safety of foreign residents in Islamabad.
