MULTAN: A senior journalist of a local private TV channel was robbed along with his friend yesterday night, said a police spokesman.
The journalist on Rohi TV, Waseem Shehzad, was returning home along with a friend on a motorcycle after duty when the unidentified robbers intercepted them.
The criminals are reported to have snatched two mobile phones-the two each in possession of the victims-with an amount collectively worth Rs. 210,000 in cash and a motorbike from them.
On minor resistance, the robbers opened straight fire, but it couldn’t hurt either of the motorcyclists.
The incident was held in Z-town, near Sameeja Abad, said the spokesman.
Cases have been registered, and further investigation is underway.
