A woman in Karachi's Defence Housing Authority (DHA) has filed a fresh complaint against her neighbours and police personnel following a dispute outside her apartment. The initial first information report (FIR) filed against the woman and her brother was dismissed as unsubstantiated by an inquiry report. The incident occurred on August 20, when a dispute over parking erupted between the mother-in-law of Korangi Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Fida Hussain Janwari and a neighbour.
The neighbour allegedly assaulted the woman, her mother, and brother, and stole their belongings. CCTV footage showed the assault and police officials restraining the victim. The inquiry report recommended departmental action against the police involved and identified the individuals responsible for the destruction of the CCTV camera and use of a weapon to smash it. The victim family is encouraged to take legal action against the suspects.
