Karachi court issues notices to SSP, SHO on plea seeking FIR over DHA scuffle case

A Karachi additional sessions court has issued notices to the South senior superintendent of police (SSP) and Darakhshan station house officer (SHO) regarding a plea seeking the registration of a case over an apartment scuffle that occurred in Defence Housing Authority’s (DHA) Phase 6. The incident, captured on CCTV footage, shows a woman charging at another with a dumbbell and hitting her.

Three policemen are already facing disciplinary proceedings for their alleged involvement in the incident. The petitioner, who was hit in the video, approached the court on Monday, requesting that a first information report (FIR) be filed against the other party. The court has directed the police to record the statement under Section 154 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and register an FIR, as the complainant had already filed one on August 21 in response to the woman accused of attacking her.
