Foreigner couple, who cycled to Pakistan after covering ten nations, were robbed in the South Asian country's Thatta district, media reports said.

According to reports, the victims were identified as Polish national Kowalczyk Jakub Tomasz and Scantamburlo Marie Elisabeth.

They hailed from France.

The senior superintendent of police (SSP) told Geo News that the mugger deprived the foreign couple of their mobile phones.

The police have registered an FIR in connection with the incident and initiated investigation.

An official at the Sindh archaeology department, however, told Geo News that the couple, who was visiting historical sites in the province, was robbed in the Makli graveyard, home to nearly half a million tombs and graves of royals, sufi saints and others.

“The couple stayed in Makli graveyard last night [Saturday night] where the muggers robbed them,” the assistant at the archaeology department confirmed to the news channel.

He said that couple was the guest of the provincial archaeology department.
