Two of the bank’s guards, Mohammad Bashir and Mohammad Khan, were injured during the robbery and were taken to the District Headquarters Hospital. The condition of one of them is said to be critical.
According to the police, a car carrying six people drove up to Al Falah Bank at about 2pm. The robbers first shot the two guards at the entrance before walking into the bank. They then held the bank employees and customers at gunpoint because of which the staff could not activate the emergency alarm.
Superintendent of Police (SP) Attique Tahir told Dawn that the bank had an estimated Rs20 million on its premises when it opened Wednesday morning.
