GUJRAT, Sept 1: The Lalamusa police on Friday failed to find a clue to a robbery committed in the National Bank of Pakistan’s Ghala Mandi branch on Thursday.

It is the second incident at the same bank during the last four years and the biggest robbery in the history of Lalamusa.

Four unmasked robbers entered the bank at 11:30am and took away Rs6 million in cash after holding the entire staff, including guards, at gunpoint.

SP (investigations) Mahmoodul Hasan Qureshi and SHO Asif Hanif Joya reached the spot and gathered details from bank manager Zameer Shah and other staff.

It may be recalled that four robbers had taken away Rs1.8 million from this branch on March 1, 2002. Police believed that the same gang had robbed Rs1.5 million from a National Savings Centre in Lalamusa on April 12, 2002.

The then DPO had formed a team which arrested two robbers, including ringleader Afzal alias Major of Sahanwal.

The other gang members were Mazhar Butt of Phalia, Zaigham Shah, Yasir and Kashif. However, the investigators failed to make any recovery from them.

They wrote in the file that the two robbers had confessed to committing the two robberies and they had spent the looted Rs3.3 million while gambling and seeing dance at various places in Lahore and Karachi.
