According to police, the suspect was arrested during a raid in the Badar Commercial area of DHA. His car was also taken into custody. Police said the suspect was allegedly planning to flee to another city before his arrest.

He then chased the food delivery rider while carrying the hockey stick and allegedly issued serious threats. Following the incident, the rider sought legal action against the suspect.

Karachi police have launched legal proceedings against the arrested suspect, while further investigation into the case is underway.

Earlier, three young men were robbed at gunpoint while sitting outside a house near Babar Market in the Landhi area; the CCTV video has come to light.

CCTV footage of the incident, which has since surfaced, shows two armed men arriving on a motorcycle and entering a street. The suspects then approach the three men sitting outside a residence and hold them at gunpoint.

The street criminals are seen in the video taking the victims’ mobile phones before fleeing the scene within seconds.

Officials said efforts are under way to identify the motorcycle-riding suspects with the help of the footage, and a search operation has been initiated to arrest those involved.
