The incident took place near Phool Wali Gali, where one robber was killed and another was seriously injured due to gunfire from a citizen and public beating. According to Chhipa sources, the deceased and injured robbers were transported to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital. Police said the shopkeeper fired shots, resulting in the death of one robber and injury to another.

They said that a few months ago, robbers had fired in the same market, killing a young man who had come for shopping. Following that incident, the shopkeeper had been keeping a licensed firearm in his shop for self-protection. The killed robber is yet to be identified. The police have registered a case and initiated investigations.
