Now they are running from pillar to post, seeking Police action to nab the accused,” they said.
“It has been over three months now that the case FIR number 35/2022 was registered at police station Nigeen. But the burglars are still untraced. Our lifelong saving in form of gold and cash stands looted from our house,” said Noor Muhammad.
The victim family said that they are often visiting Police Station Nigeen to receive an update with a hope to get justice. “But unfortunately, there seems to be no headway in the case. It has disturbed our daily lives.”
“Many suspicious persons roam in the area during night and we believe they are part of the gang of burglars,” the residents said.
