Robbery foiled at journalist Imtiaz Alam's home

ISLAMABAD—Senior journalist and general secretary of South Asian Free Media Association (SAFMA), Imtiaz Alam, said on Thursday that robbers attempted to break into his home; however, the security guards foiled the attempt.

Alam condemned the attempt and said that earlier this year, six robbers had also ransacked his home.

He questioned the police's role in tracing the perpetrators.

Freedom Network (FN) condemned the incident and called for the arrest of the culprits.
