June 29, 2021
Four policemen were arrested on Monday after they were caught looting a milk shop in CCTV camera footage.
In the CCTV footage, the policemen could be seen looting cash from the shop’s counter during the Sunday night’s raid conducted by the assistant commissioner in Korangi’s PNT Cooperative Housing Society. The SSP Korangi took action after the footage came to light.
The owner of the milk shop said the raid team first attempted to enter the shop by passing through between the wall and outside grill, but an employee at the shop opened the gate for them. The arrested policemen were identified as head constable Tariq Abbasi and three constables, Zeeshan, Waqar Baig and Amir Khan. A case has been registered against them at the Korangi Industrial Area police station while an investigation is under way.

“We are packed for Eid,” said Muhammad Asif Muneer, managing director of the budget-friendly Gwadar Tourist Hotel. The pandemic may have sucked the life out of Karachiites’ entertainment, but it provided a boom for Gwadar’s tourism where the city dwellers are flocking to escape the confines of their homes.
Estimating the weekly capacity of the motel strip across the scenic marine drive to be around 2,000, Mr Muneer guesses that Gwadar receives around 20,000-25,000 visitors a month during the peak season when all places to stay are accounted for. The well-heeled may opt for Pearl Continental Gwadar that has witnessed a 200 per cent increase in the number of guests in the last four to five months, according to its finance manager Waqar Baig.
