The Rangers foiled a snatching bid in Gulistan-e-Jauhar late Wednesday night as they shot one suspected dacoit dead and arrested another.
The two suspects reportedly held a family hostage and robbed their home in Gulistan-e-Jauhar’s Block 2. Later, the suspects were snatching valuables from a resident when they encountered the Rangers.
According to an eyewitness, the suspects began firing at the Rangers. “[The Rangers] returned fire and killed one of the suspects, while the other ran inside a house,” the witness said.
The second suspect was later arrested and handed over to the police.
A motorcycle and weapons were seized from the suspects while some of the stolen goods were recovered as well.
The police believe the arrested men are part of a four-member gang that has been involved in numerous street crimes.
