Well-known stage actor Qaiser Piya fell victim to a robbery in Lahore’s Garden Town area, when thieves snatched his expensive mobile phone from him.
The incident occurred on Monday evening, when Piya was driving his car from Kalma Chowk towards Barkat Market.
As per the First Information Report (FIR) filed at Garden Town Police Station, the robbery took place in front of Melano Marriage Hall when traffic came to a standstill.
In his FIR, Piya described how the coordinated robbery unfolded. While his vehicle stopped in a traffic jam, an unknown man aged approximately 25 to 27 years collided with his car from behind.
When Piya lowered his window on the driver’s side to ask what happened, a second accomplice appeared on the opposite side of the vehicle and began knocking loudly on the car door.
The second suspect raised further distraction by yelling that the car had run over a someone.
As Piya rolled down the window on that side to inquire about the situation, the first suspect quietly snatched his iPhone 17 Pro Max from the front side of the car and fled the scene. His accomplice immediately followed.
Piya has requested police to take legal action against the unknown suspects and recover his mobile phone.
