A citizen crushed two fleeing robbers to death on the Super Highway near Jamali Flyover on Saturday.

According to Sachal police, three armed men riding a motorcycle were trying to flee after snatching Rs163,000 and other valuables from a citizen, namely Raheem Soomro, when he rammed his car into the alleged robbers’ vehicle, killing two of them on the spot. However, the third one managed to escape in an injured condition.

Rescuers transported the bodies to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre where they were identified as 19-year-old Ayub, son of Adam, and Zahid, 20, son of Jannat Gul.

The police claimed to have recovered the looted valuables and cash from the possession of the robbers. Later, Soomro issued a video statement and explained the incident.
