A strange incident unfolded in Karachi’s Gulshan-e-Hadeed area after thieves unexpectedly returned the stolen items they had taken during a robbery two days earlier. The case has drawn public attention due to the unusual behaviour of the culprits, who quietly placed the goods back at the victim’s home.
The robbery took place at the residence of UC Chairman Raza Jatoi, where the burglars reportedly escaped with cash and gold jewellery worth around Rs6 million. Police officials said the thieves stole Rs4 million in cash and gold valued at Rs2 million.
According to SSP Malir Abdul Khaliq Pirzada, the robbers had entered the house late at night and left with the valuables without leaving any clear trace. The investigation began immediately after Jatoi filed a complaint at the local police station.
However, in a surprising twist, the stolen items were discovered in the family’s yard. Jatoi’s wife found the bag containing the returned goods while she was feeding cats outside the house. The sudden reappearance of the valuables shocked the family.
Jatoi expressed disbelief over the unexpected return. He said it was difficult to imagine thieves returning stolen items in the current situation. He added that the discovery was both surprising and confusing, raising questions about the motives behind the act.
Police officials are now investigating why the thieves decided to return the goods. They are reviewing nearby CCTV footage and questioning residents to uncover possible clues. Authorities believe the incident may involve fear of identification, internal disputes among the culprits, or pressure from someone within the neighbourhood.
The case has sparked curiosity across the area, as such incidents are rare. Police say they will continue to pursue the suspects despite the return of the goods, as the crime still took place and legal action is required.
The investigation remains ongoing as officials work to understand the unusual behaviour and bring clarity to the case.
