GUJRANWALA, July 13: Robbers looted cash and valuables worth hundreds of thousands from the house of former Gujranwala mayor Ghulam Qadir Khan here on Saturday.

Four men entered the Satellite Town residence of Qadir Khan, brother of former federal minister Ghulam Dastagir Khan and uncle of incumbent Minister of State Khurram Dastagir Khan, late on Saturday.

They held Qadir at gunpoint, who was alone at home, and made off with Rs35,000 in cash and valuable watches worth hundreds of thousands.

The robbers fled on foot, while the Satellite Town police senior officials reached after an hour and registered a case.
