One of the robbers also dropped his gun inside the car. Now it should be worth mentioning that DHA Lahore is one of the most posh and secure locations in the city and even the country, and it comes under the leadership of Army personnel and a police station is also close to where the incident took place. In addition to that over 1,800 Dolphin force personnel were appointed in different areas of the city in December 2017 yet incidents of armed robberies seem to be on the rising in the city and as much as we hate to say it, not even Defence Housing Authority is safe from these disgusting robbers.
It should also be noted that a very similar incident took place in Gulberg II in April 2018 when many people were reportedly mugged by criminals. The Police failed to act on these incidents despite the fact that a number of people have been robbed in Gulberg and DHA areas. In fact, most of the victims have been allegedly discouraged from reporting the incidents by the police personnel. All of this was part of a lengthy document which showed that affect these robbers have had on such areas which honestly is quite alarming at this point and we urge all of you to stay safe and to report any such crime if you see a situation pointing south.
