Karachi police say they have arrested a suspect allegedly involved in the mugging of an online delivery rider in PECHS, a case that went viral after footage of the incident spread widely on social media. According to ARY News, the arrest was made following an encounter near Baloch Pull.
The suspect was identified in the report as Sajid Suleman. Police told ARY that he and an accomplice were allegedly involved in robbing the rider a few days earlier, taking his mobile phone, earbuds, and the food parcel he was carrying. The second suspect managed to escape, and police said raids were underway to trace and arrest him.
The case gained public attention after video footage of the robbery circulated online, renewing concerns over street crime in Karachi, particularly attacks targeting delivery riders and motorcyclists. Police have described the arrest as a breakthrough in the case, although further details — including formal charges and recovery of stolen items — were not immediately available.
At this stage, the police version remains the primary publicly available account. Further details, including court proceedings, recovery records, or official statements from Karachi police, are expected as the investigation progresses.
