...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
, Senior Superintendent of Police East (SSP East) Azfar Mahesar said during a presser on Tuesday.
Cash, dozens of valuable women's handbags and jewelry worth hundreds of thousands were recovered from the duo.
On the special directives of the SSP East, Jamshed Town Superintendent of Police (SP) Shamyl Riaz had formed a team consisting of Ferozabad Station House Officer (SHO) Aurangzeb Khan Khattak and Ghulam Nabi Afridi.
The team had received information that three suspects were in the PECHS area of the city.
As soon as they saw the police, the suspects started firing. In the resulting shootout, the gang leader was injured, the official said.
Police subsequently surrounded the area, arresting the injured suspect and his lover companion.
The suspect revealed that for four and a half years, his four-member group had used to target women.
Apart from snatching valuables, the gang also used cutting tools to cut and take off women's bangles and jewelry.
During a subsequent police raid, over 70 valuable handbags snatched from women, hundreds of thousands of rupees in cash, as well as over 50 mobile phones and laptops were recovered from the accused.
