South Waziristan Upper Police claimed to have arrested a gang involved in robbing tourists in South Waziristan during Eid holidays. District Police Officer SW Upper Niaz Muhammad Khan said that more persons involved in the case would be arrested soon. According to a police spokesman, the said tourists came from Karak and stayed in a Masjid for the night in the Medan area as there was no hotel facility in South Waziristan.
Taking advantage, the accused escaped after robbing the tourists and took five mobile phones, Rs 66,000, service cards and ATM cards with them. On the special instructions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Inspector General of Police (IGP) Akhtar Hayat Gandapur and Regional Police Officer (RPO) Dera Ghafoor Afridi, police took immediate action.
