I was going to Bolton market to pick up some stuff and had to take out money from ATM…it was around 7:15. My driver stopped the car when he saw an ATM near Bundu Khan Restaurant. It was HBL’S.
The service lane was quite dead and empty …for a moment I thought not to get off but I had no choice I had to pay the vendor for the stuff I was about to collect.
I went in and locked the door…when I was about to finish my transaction the door banged …I got shocked …but at the same time kept myself calmed and present …I asked what “kon hai”
Keeping my money and card inside my wallet …Jaldi kholo. .the reply came ….I glanced out from the door there was a weird looking man standing and I could easily see his shirt popped out from the side which was eventually a gun hidden underneath .
I said intizaar Karo abhee. I am using.
Then I called my son sitting in the car “listen do u c a man standing outside ATM he has a gun what to do. I am locked inside he said mama don’t come out …I said send the driver out …then my driver came out and stood just behind that man bravely and said ….ladies hai app jaga do k wo baahir aajaye. ….on other side I was reciting Ayatul Kursi constantly and Bismilalh parh kr I opened the door and just ran out out the cabin Andy driver kept looking at man. .. with his get up he was not looking an ATM user at all …in short don’t know what kept him quite and he dint react…..I have never been through such situation and have never used ATM like this ..it was an emergency and Allah saved us.
Later my son told me mama I saw this man coming from the other side of road and One more thing may be my sixth sense worked my son wanted to use the ATM as he always does it but I said no beta it’s quite dark and late let me do it myself.
So people be careful going and using that ATM or any ATM at night in dead areas.

Almost every bank has security guard inside bank. You can call them by windows or telephone attached to ATM.
I lost my Bike at Nursery near PSP office. Locked bike is stolen. Everything is possible for Money. Please don’t take risk in future.
Thank God for the door locking. And your senses working. But it’s not ways that these muggers travel alone. They have accompanies too wondering around.
Even that is not a Job of Driver but he is faithful with you.
When you can pay via debit/credit card why to use ATM? Also next time if you want to use ATM, use the ones inside malls/ superstores/ petrol pumps
It’s better to use ATM in malls or mart. now every good mart have got the ATM machines installed.
