Brave woman foils attempted robbery in Islamabad

In an act of bravery, a woman successfully foiled an attempted robbery by clinging to the driver’s door of her car and stopping the burglar fleeing.

Video of the robbery has emerged in which the woman can be seen getting out of her car to close the gate of her home.

As she was walking away from her car, the thief got inside the vehicle and tried to drive away with it. However, his attempt failed as the woman first stood in front of the car to stop the man from running away.

She later opened the car door and soon people nearby came to help the woman after she started screaming. The robber was then pulled out of the car when another man, who came to help the woman, started hitting him.

The incident took place in Islamabad’s B-17 sector. The police arrested the man.

Last month, Inspector General of Police (IGP) Islamabad Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi ordered law enforcement to step up efforts to eradicate crime in the federal capital, stressing the need for strict crime prevention and security measures.

The IGP reviewed the city’s crime statistics and preventive measures, giving firm instructions for speedy arrest of suspects involved in serious crimes such as robbery, murder and street crimes.

He stressed the importance of gathering solid evidence in ongoing investigations to ensure successful prosecutions. IG Rizvi emphasized the need to intensify efforts to address high priority issues, urging officers to focus on crime-prone areas and uphold the safety and dignity of Islamabad residents.
