  "summary": "Dawn reports that Karachi's SHO, Faisal Gul, has been suspended following the circulation of an audio clip on social media. The clip allegedly shows the officer and a police constable engaging in an \"unauthorised, compromising conversation\" with a known drug dealer named Kashif, also known as Dada. The South DIG, Syed Asad Raza, has taken action against Gul, stating that he has compromised the writ of law by seeking an apology from the drug dealer and directing his subordinate to do the same. A police spokesperson has vowed to verify the authenticity of the audio clip with the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency.",
