Four Police Officials Arrested for Dacoity at Chinese Nationals’ Residence

ISLAMABAD: Four police officials from the capital have been arrested for their alleged involvement in a dacoity at the residence of Chinese nationals in the F-7/1 sector. The incident, which occurred in the early hours, has raised serious concerns about the integrity of law enforcement in the area.

The police officer confirmed that the four officials, who were in uniform at the time of the crime, collaborated with an accomplice to execute the robbery. They reportedly looted Rs2 million in cash and a mobile phone valued at Rs15,000. Following the incident, legal proceedings have been initiated against the arrested officials.

This incident marks the fourth dacoity targeting Chinese nationals since August 29, with previous cases involving criminals disguised as police officers. Investigations into two earlier incidents had already pointed to serving capital police personnel as suspects, highlighting a troubling trend of corruption and crime within the ranks of law enforcement.

The police have registered a case under Section 395 of the Pakistan Penal Code, which pertains to dacoity. Authorities are expected to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter, and further actions may be taken to ensure the safety of foreign nationals residing in Pakistan.
