"We went to kolachi for dinner 2 nights ago, whole family. All three cars were together, till nueplex, my brother and others decided to stop for movie tickets. I was driving, my dad and Aunty were with me, as it was getting quite late, was 1:10 am already, we decided to move on, leaving two cars behind.
Okay, so the place I am talking about is next lane of nueplex, which goes towards Ithaad. Street was pitch dark, no street lights nothing, all was good until we were almost half way on that road. A new corolla came from behind, on full speed, I was on the fast lane, considering they were in a rush, I gave them space, instead of moving on, they slowed their car, and came right next to my driving side, slowing their speed, man ( who was around 30 plus years old wearing shalwar kameez) rolled down his window trying to say something, which I didn't understand at first, but when I looked closely, he had a gun with silencer, in his hand, and was telling me to stop, straightaway. I put my foot on the accelerator hard, decided not to stop, he fired on the car, on my door. I left them behind me, and since the road is narrow, they were trying hard to over take the car, but I tried not to give any space to them, until a point came, where was a lane going on the left, there they came ahead us, and stopped the car in front of ours. The man from the back seat got off, proceeding towards us. I don't know how, but Allah swt, gave me the strength, and courage to do it. I decided not to give up, put the car in the reverse gear on full speed, the man got shocked, and ran back to sit in his car. I went into that lane on left which came before, it was dark, all dark nothing could be seen, I turned off the cars lights so that they cannot trace us, I don't know how in that darkness, Allah swt showed me the way, to get out from there, and escape, leaving them behind. Else there was no hope, at all. Khair the whole purpose of writing this is that, there were 5 men in that car with guns, and Allah knows what their intentions were. I would have stopped and not taken the risk, if they were on bikes, and simple mobile snatchers. But when I saw their faces, It looked different, worse. I don't want to say the feelings I got, worst endless possiblities I can think of. They could be there for kidnapping or Allah knows what. Later, I got to know that there had been a lot of kidnapping happening in that area, and they are targeting female drivers, and families. I would not have written this, but I just realised, that there are night shows happening at nueplex, and mostly couples and families, go to those shows, and am sure many take that route. Please AVOID !! What I went through, I don't want anyone else to go through it. Chase lasted for 10 minutes. Those were the worst 10 minutes of our lives, may Allah doesn't make anyone else go through it. P.S those who think I should have stopped the car, and not tried to run away please ignore such comments! I agree there was risk involved in this, but I did what I felt was right, in that moment, and Allah guided me, and dua'as of elders saved us. If I would have stopped the car, it would have been a lot worse, and God forbid, but I might not have been there to write this. And at that moment getting out of there, taking my family out of that situation securely was my priority."
