Overview
- Gunmen entered the Edhi Foundation centre in Sohrab Goth, held employees at gunpoint and fled with cash that staff had withdrawn to pay salaries.
- The foundation reported the loss as Rs6.5 million while at least one outlet cited Rs65 million, leaving the exact amount taken unresolved in current reports.
- CCTV shared by the foundation shows masked, armed men inside the centre and witnesses said the suspects arrived on motorcycles wearing helmets.
- Police are collecting statements, securing evidence and tracing escape routes while Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah and Home Minister Ziaul Hassan Lanjar have demanded detailed reports and swift arrests.
- The foundation suspects a current or former employee may have given the robbers knowledge of cash procedures, a concern that highlights broader security risks for charities that handle large cash withdrawals.
