An alleged robber “involved in serious incidents of robbery” was killed in an exchange of fire in Motra Police Station area in Sialkot. According to a police spokesperson, around 05:30 a.m. on Wednesday, three alleged armed robbers on a motorcycle allegedly snatched Rs75,000 from Ashiq Ali at gunpoint near a factory in the limits of the Motra Police Station and escaped. Upon receiving a call about the incident on 15, the SHO of Motra Police Station, along with his team, chased the alleged robbers who started firing directly at the police team near Shah Badshah Darbar. The police team immediately adopted a defensive strategy and fired a few shots in self-defence. When the firing from the opposite direction stopped, the police searched the area with a torch and saw that one of the robbers had been shot dead from the firing of his accomplices, while the rest of the accused escaped.
