Police blame citizens as ‘robber housemaids’ hit
ISLAMABAD: Robbers in the guise of housemaids are active depriving the citizens of their valuables in the federal capital while the police lay the blame on the victims, stating such incidents are caused by irresponsible behaviour of the citizens who appoint their housemaids without any verification.
Mazhar Iqbal, a resident of Bani Gala lodged an FIR in Bani Gala police station complaining that his family has been deprived of their valuables including jewelry, watches, camera and cash by two women, whom he had appointed as housemaids at his home.
According to details, the applicant of the FIR No 28 registered in Bani Gala police station complained the police that on 28th December 2012, two women approached their home located in Bani Gala and offered their services as housemaids, whom he appointed as they needed a housemaid. In his complaint, Mazhar Iqbal added that after working for two days, the housemaids discontinued their appearance without informing them which put his family under stress. After waiting for some days he examined his house and found that his valuables of total amount 0.4 million including jewelry, precious watches, digital camera and some cash were missing from the house, which strengthened their doubt on their newly appointed housemaids for theft. He further mentioned in the FIR that he has no information about the location and the background of the accused.
When contacted, an official at the Bani Gala police station said that such incidents happen only when the citizens show their irresponsible attitude towards appointing strangers on job at their home. “The citizen usually neither try to inquire about the background of the strangers who request to work at their home, nor do they keep any identity of them. The criminal take the advantage when the people do favor to them by taking pity after hearing the sorrowful stories from them. First it is responsibility of the people to get complete information about those whom they are hiring,” the police official maintained.
It is pertinent to mention that an incident of the same nature had also occurred on 23rd February, when Kalssom Bibi, a newly appointed maid at the house of an old couple, not only robbed the family at her first night of appointment, but also killed her mistress brutally. The accused was also not arrested by the police after the incident as the family was not having any information or identity about the accused. The only clue that was available for the police was the cell number of Kalsoom Bibi, which was later found registered by the name of some other user.
