Islamabad witnessed two separate bank robbery incidents on Tuesday.

The first occurred at a government bank in G9 near the Peshawar Morr. As a cash van stopped in front of the bank, a guard was entering with a bag of money when an armed motorcyclist opened fire and fled with the cash. 

Four people, including three nearby hotel employees, were injured in the shooting.

The second robbery took place at a private bank in G-14 around 4 pm, where unknown assailants fired on the security guard before fleeing with cash. 

The guard was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
