KARACHI, April 24: Police have registered a case against the security guard of a private company and his four accomplices for robbing a private bank branch located on Sharea Faisal within the jurisdiction of the Tipu Sultan police station on Monday night.

The case (FIR 141/2012) was registered against security guard Najaf Shah and four others on a complaint of bank manager Ameer Ali.
