They were exercising when all of sudden two unknown dacoits having guns in hands appeared from somewhere who made the both the men hostage of gunpoint. One of the dacoits shouted at the government officer and his cousin and directed to handover mobile phones and cash, else they would shoot them dead, said the sources, adding that the dacoits snatched two mobile phones from the men.
Meanwhile, the dacoits managed to escape from the scene. Police rushed to the crime scene after receiving call at emergency helpline 15 and started investigation.

He said that it was a horrible incident that the dacoits shouted at us to leave the ground and don’t look back otherwise they would riddle us with bullets. He demanded IG Islamabad to initiate legal action against officials of PS Karachi Company for not lodging FIR against the dacoits.
