Robbers who stole money from Chinese national meet accident; one dies, two injured

LAHORE: Two robbers were injured and another one died after they had stolen money from a Chinese national in Punjab's capital on Monday, police said.

Police said shortly after the robbery, the robbers' motorcycle had collided with a tractor on Multan Road due to overspeeding — leading to the death of one individual. The remaining two sustained injuries and were arrested by the police.

The Chinese national claimed the bag that the men stole contained Rs700,000.
