KARACHI: In the recent Karachi PECHS robbery, a group of criminals pretending to be fake FIA officers performed a carefully orchestrated robbery, taking away with over Rs 130 million in cash and other valuables, ARY News reported.

According to the reports, the robbery occurred in the upscale PECHS Block 2 area of Karachi.

The police authorities reported that the suspects, two men and three women who were dressed in burqas (masks), arrived at the home of a local showroom owner around 3:30 AM in a black car.

One of the men was wearing a uniform that was almost like the Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA), complete with a monogram. He waved a pistol to force the homeowner to allow entry into his home.

As they entered, the fake FIA officers forced residents to open the inner doors and continued to rob the bedroom safe. They filled Rs 130 million in cash in their bags, along with 20 luxury watches, a smart watch, nine mobile phones, and two laptops.

The entire robbery was recorded on CCTV, clearly showing the masked suspects looting. The turning point came when one of the stolen iPhones remained traceable due to its active location services.

Acting quickly, police followed the device to a private hotel, where they arrested two brothers and two sisters believed to be involved in the Karachi PECHS robbery. The suspects are currently in police custody under physical remand for further investigation.

The FIR has been registered at Ferozabad Police Station against the fake FIA officers, and officials are continuing their efforts to recover the stolen assets and identify any additional accomplices.

This Karachi PECHS robbery has not only raised serious concerns about the ease with which criminals can impersonate law enforcement officers, but also has upset Karachi citizens, prompting calls for stricter verification procedures and public awareness.

Pakistan floods: South Asia’s monsoon explained

Floods in Pakistan have killed more than 1,000 people after what its climate change minister called a record unbroken cycle of monsoon rains with “8 weeks of non-stop torrents”. AFP explains what the monsoon is, why it is so important and yet so dangerous, and how climate change and other man-made effects may be altering the vast life-giving but destructive annual weather system. What is the South Asian monsoon? The Southwest or the Asian Summer Monsoon is essentially a colossal sea breeze that brings South Asia 70-80 percent of its annual rainfall between June and September every year. It occurs when summer heat warms the landmass of the subcontinent, causing the air to rise and sucking in cooler Indian Ocean winds which then produce enormous volumes of rain. Why it is important? The monsoon is vital for agriculture and therefore for the livelihoods of millions of farmers and for food security in the poor region of around two billion people. But it brings destruction every ye...

ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) on Monday removed a recently installed ‘Golden Hands’ sculpture located along Margalla Avenue in Islamabad. The artwork featured two large golden hands holding two balls like objects resembling a world map. Installed by a private developer, the sculpture quickly gained widespread attention on social media, sparking debate, memes, and a wave of speculation over its symbolism.
