When Mazhar Tibbi Surprised Islamabad Police | True Crime Story 1988

1988 American Express Bank Robbery & The Hunt for Mazhar Tibbi | An Untold Police Story In 1988, a massive robbery at the American Express Bank in Islamabad sent shockwaves through the police department. With no mobile phones, Safe City cameras, or modern forensics, solving high-profile crimes depended entirely on field experience, police instincts, and a reliable network of informants. During the investigation, one notorious name kept surfacing—Mazhar Tibbi, one of the most dangerous proclaimed offenders of that era. In this video, I share an exclusive, untold story from my time serving at Kohsar Police Station, Islamabad: The tense late-night raid at an F-10 guest house. An undercover surveillance operation at a breakfast shop in Johar Town, Lahore. How strategic oversights, lack of local coordination, and a critical miscalculation led to an unexpected turn of events. Watch the full video to understand the real-world operational challenges of 1980s policing and how split-second decisions alter the outcome of high-stakes cases.
