KARACHI: A group of armed men snatched Rs800,000 and mobile phones from a police officer at gunpoint in Gulshan-e-Iqbal on Thursday, deepening the sense of insecurity in the city due to a sharp rise in street crime.

Aziz Bhatti police said four robbers on two motorcycles snatched Rs800,000 and two mobile phones from Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Saad Jabbar as his car approached his residence in Shanti Nagar, Dalmia.

He said there is more crime in Lahore and other cities, but the people of Karachi are kicking themselves in the gut.
