Interview with DIG Imran Kishor on Recent Robberies in Lahore
Editor: Thank you for joining us, DIG Imran Kishor. We have been hearing concerning reports about a dacoit gang operating in Lahore, specifically in the Defense area. Can you explain what’s happening?
DIG Kishor: Thank you for having me. Yes, we are currently dealing with a highly organized five-member dacoit gang that has been active for the past 20 days.

Editor: It’s alarming to learn that they are using sophisticated methods. What can you tell us about their techniques?
DIG Kishor: Indeed, one of the most concerning aspects of this gang is their use of a jammer device. This device disrupts mobile and internet signals within a two-kilometer radius of the crime scene, preventing victims from alerting authorities during the robbery. Additionally, they are using fake number plates on their getaway vehicle, which complicates our tracking efforts.

Editor: Speaking of progress, can you share any updates on the specific incidents that have occurred recently?
DIG Kishor: Yes, we’ve registered multiple FIRs, with detailed accounts from victims.

Interestingly, once the robbers left, the mobile and internet services resumed immediately, which highlights the use of the jammer effectively.
Editor: It sounds like a coordinated and sophisticated operation. What advice do you have for residents to protect themselves from such crimes?
DIG Kishor: We urge residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the police immediately. Installing surveillance cameras, having a robust security system, and maintaining communication with neighbors can also be crucial in preventing these types of crimes.

Editor: That’s reassuring to hear, but given the frequency of these robberies, how can residents protect themselves in the meantime?
