Pine nuts worth Rs3.8 million have been stolen in Gujranwala, Punjab.
A case has been registered in connection with the incident, while the affected trader has alleged that police recorded an incorrect value of the stolen goods in the FIR.
According to details, 550 kilograms of pine nuts worth Rs3.85 million were stolen in Gujranwala. Police have obtained CCTV footage of the incident, which occurred a few days ago.
The footage shows three thieves carrying away six sacks of pine nuts in broad daylight. A case has been registered by Model Town Police Station, Gujranwala. However, the complainant has alleged that while his actual loss amounts to Rs3.85 million, the police wrongly recorded the value as only Rs350,000 in the FIR.
Model Town police have initiated an investigation into the incident, and authorities say efforts are underway to trace and arrest the suspects.
Pine nuts are among the most expensive dry fruits in Pakistan and are sold at varying prices in different cities. Depending on quality, prices range from Rs7,000 to Rs15,000 per kilogram.
Even at the minimum rate of Rs7,000 per kilogram, the total value of the stolen 550 kilograms comes to Rs3.85 million, which supports the victim’s claim. The affected trader has stressed that the incorrect valuation in the FIR should be rectified.
