Islamabad, Pakistan - In a horrifying incident that unfolded in broad daylight, a Head Constable of the Pakistan Police, Muhammad Ashraf, and his son were brutally murdered by armed robbers in sector G-11, falling under the jurisdiction of Ramna Police Station. The shocking episode, caught on camera, has sent shockwaves across the nation.
The assailants, armed with a pistol, were captured on video arriving on a motorcycle and callously shooting the constable and his son in the middle of the road. The footage, now circulating on social media, reveals the heart-wrenching scenes of Ashraf's wife and other children pleading for mercy as they fold their hands in desperation.
Despite the family's desperate pleas and the woman's attempts to seek help from onlookers, the merciless robbers ignored their cries and callously executed the policeman and his son. The video further shows the constable falling to the ground after being shot, grasping one of the attackers' legs in a futile attempt to prevent their escape.
In a chilling turn of events, the robbers, realizing they left their motorcycle behind, returned to the crime scene to retrieve it. As they attempted to flee, a brave youth confronted them, only to meet a tragic fate as he, too, was shot dead on the spot. Disturbingly, the youth was identified as the son of the slain Head Constable.
