A serving army officer has lodged a First Information Report (FIR) with the police against seven people for allegedly beating him and his sister besides snatching jewellery from the woman.
The Bhara Kahu police arrested five of the suspects and are investigating the case.
According to the FIR (copy available with Dawn), Lt Col Imran Ashraf stated that he was coming to Islamabad along with his family on Friday when around seven people riding a vehicle blocked his way on Murree Road in the limits of the Bhara Kahu police.
Mr Ashraf alleged that the accused beat him so much that he fell unconscious. They then twisted the arm of his sister and snatched jewellery from her, he alleged.
When contacted, Mr Ashraf confirmed the incident but said he did not want to comment.
Rafiullah, the investigation officer of the case, told Dawn that five of the seven suspects had been arrested.
“According to the arrested men, when they overtook the vehicle of the complainant, the latter abused them assuming that they were looking at his family. They confessed to beating the complainant but said the allegation of snatching jewellery from the woman was false,” he said.
