Published April 27, 2002

NOWSHERA, April 26: A robber deprived a businessman of Rs550,000 in the front of the State Bank building in the Peshawar Saddar area.

Mohammad Akhlaq Ahmad, a resident of Nowshera, told newsmen on Thursday that he was a tailor by profession and had gone to Peshawar to purchase prize bonds. He said that a man, Hamid, a resident of Ganj, met him and asked him that he would bring the prize bonds for him and took his money and went into the bank.

Akhlaq said that when Hamid did not come back after a long time, he checked him in the bank, but could not find him there.
