An investigation has been ordered following the emergence of CCTV footage showing police allegedly involved in a scuffle in Karachi's DHA. The video depicts a woman rushing down stairs with a dumbbell and hitting another woman. Two individuals in what appeared to be police uniforms can be seen restraining the woman being assaulted, while another man argues with her.
The altercation escalated as the woman with the dumbbell and another man began banging on the door of their home, yelling obscenities. Eventually, a man in a shalwar kameez smashed the CCTV camera using a weapon provided by one of the uniformed individuals. A first information report (FIR) was registered at Darakhshan police station, but the DIG has directed an impartial investigation into the incident.
