KARACHI: In a startling incident, siblings suspected of robbing a businessman’s house in the PECHS area of Karachi for Rs130 million have been identified as TikTokers, according to authorities.
Authorities are currently investigating four arrested suspects in connection with the robbery that took place on the night of June 26. The arrested individuals include Yasra, Nimra, Shahryar, and Shahroz.
Investigating officials revealed that the siblings involved in the heist are active on TikTok. The suspects allegedly used fake Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) uniforms to gain entry and commit the robbery at the businessman’s residence.
They are accused of stealing not only the substantial sum of cash but also expensive watches, mobile phones, and other valuables before fleeing the scene.
Further details emerging from the investigation indicate that one of the suspects, Yasra, has a background in modelling and television dramas, with videos of her alongside both Indian and Pakistani artists reportedly surfacing.
Notably, surveillance camera footage of the robbery has also come to light. The footage shows the victim, businessman Salik, placing a cloth on his car in front of his house. Simultaneously, a black car is seen arriving. Two burqa-clad women approach first, followed by a man who confronts Salik.
The video then shows the suspects entering Salik’s house at gunpoint. A woman wearing a burqa is seen carrying an empty bag upon entry, and later, a suspect is observed leaving with a visibly full bag.
