I am a firearm enthusiast and lawyer who deals with criminal cases. Not a day passes when I don’t talk about guns with friends or don’t read about guns used in crimes. I keenly read instances where guns have been used in self defense.
Last night in Jhelum, a robbery attempt was foiled in a house where a wedding was taking place. All the family members of the house had left for the rusm-e-hina except five people. They were bride, her father, brother and his wife, and a young man. They were also about to leave for the nearby large house where mehndi was about to take place.
The door bell rang. The inmates answered the bell through an intercom and learnt that some ‘wedding guests’ had arrived at the main gate. The father and the son went downstairs to receive them. As soon as the opened the gate, the three ‘guests’ tried to rush inside the house. The father and the son was quick to apprehend the danger. They jumped on the robbers and caught hold of them, while the third robber had made his way inside. A scuffle broke outside the house between the robbers and the brave father and the son. It started with fists and blows with the scale tilting against the robbers.
Sensing the failure, one robber fired three shots on the father, which hit him on calf, knee joint and thigh.
Meanwhile, the automatic door had locked itself and was separating the two robbers from the third robber who had gone inside the house. The fire shots had alerted the residents of the house. When the robber entered the living quarters, a lady of the house attacked him with a hammer which a carpenter had left in the house. The carpenter had come to repair a bed in afternoon and forgot his tool. Repeated hammer blows knocked the robber down. He was overpowered by two ladies, including the bride, and the young man. The robber was found carrying two chambered TTs.
The robbers outside the house decided to run away but they wanted to take along their third partner in crime. Unable to open the door with force, they fired at the steel door with an automatic assault rifle (44 bore) to break open the lock. Failing to do so, they ran away.
The police and rescue team were quick to reach the crime scene. The father was immediately shifted to the hospital and the police arrested the semi conscious robber from inside the house. He was found to be a fugitive from law since 1996 and was an accused in 3 murders and countless robberies. He led the police to his den where police arrested the other two robbers along with one accomplice.

ReplyDeleteMarriage is not that secret. Whole locality knows that marriage is taking place in a certain house. Even the passersby can tell from the lighting that marriage is taking place. The mehndi was taking place in a nearby house and not the marriage hall.
