Islamabad Police Personnel Allegedly Involved in Four Robberies Within a Month
Police sources allege personnel recruited in 2023 were involved in incidents reported within the jurisdictions of Sumbal, Shahzad Town, Ramna and Kohsar police stations.
ISLAMABAD: Four Islamabad Police personnel have reportedly been arrested over their alleged involvement in a Rs2 million robbery at a foreign national’s residence within the jurisdiction of Kohsar Police Station, according to the initial account supplied to Islamabad Tribune.
The account states that the personnel were serving in different police zones and were identified with the help of CCTV footage. It further claims that Rs2 million equivalent to 20 lakh rupees was recovered from the arrested personnel.
These details could not be independently corroborated through an accessible official statement or matching credible report during preparation of this story.
According to the supplied information, the station house officer used surveillance footage to trace the personnel allegedly connected with the incident. However, the account does not explain what the footage showed or how investigators established each suspect’s alleged role.
The names and ranks of the four personnel, their precise postings, the FIR number and any subsequent court proceedings were not included in the information provided. The foreign resident’s nationality and the exact location of the house were also unspecified.
Earlier Cases Involving Police Personnel
The latest allegations follow earlier reporting about serving police personnel being investigated in cases involving foreign residents in Islamabad.
On October 6, Islamabad Tribune reported that three personnel had been arrested in connection with an alleged theft at a foreign national’s residence in Sumbal Police Station’s jurisdiction and sent to jail for an identification parade. That report also described an earlier G-10/4 case involving allegations against serving police personnel at a residence occupied by Chinese nationals. Those earlier reports do not establish any connection with the latest Kohsar allegations.
The newly supplied account additionally alleges that police personnel were implicated in four incidents within one month, including cases in Sumbal and Ramna. A complete, independently verified record supporting that total was not available during preparation of this report.
Questions Over Accountability and Investigation
The reported arrests raise questions about internal oversight and the investigation of allegations against serving personnel. Establishing the circumstances will require verified case records, evidence supporting the alleged recovery and clarification of the individual roles attributed to the suspects.
No response from the accused personnel or their representatives accompanied the supplied information. The allegations remain unproven, and an arrest does not establish guilt.
