Three men arrived on two motorcycles to carry out the attack before fleeing the scene, police said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Authorities have recovered <strong>a portion of the stolen money<\/strong>, while efforts are continuing to recover the remaining cash and determine whether additional individuals were involved in planning or facilitating the crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The incident occurred outside a bank in Karachi\u2019s Clifton\u2013Frere area, where Dr. Akash was shot during an armed robbery after reportedly arriving to conduct a banking transaction. The killing sparked widespread concern over street crime in the city and prompted an intensive police investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials said the arrests were made through a combination of CCTV analysis, intelligence gathering, and technical investigation. Police are continuing to interrogate the suspects and are pursuing further recoveries as the investigation progresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DIG South reiterated that law enforcement agencies remain committed to bringing all those involved in the crime to justice and completing the investigation by collecting additional evidence and recovering the remaining stolen amount.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KARACHI: Police have arrested three suspects allegedly involved in the fatal shooting of Dr. Akash during a robbery outside a bank in Karachi\u2019s Frere area,..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5920,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5919","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438081_9521523_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438081_9521523_updates-1-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438081_9521523_updates-1-300x171.jpg",300,171,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438081_9521523_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438081_9521523_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438081_9521523_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438081_9521523_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/?cat=3\" rel=\"category\">Pakistan<\/a>","tag_info":"Pakistan","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5919"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5919\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5921,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5919\/revisions\/5921"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
