  "account": "Disciplinary proceedings have been initiated against three police officers for their alleged involvement in a scuffle involving two residents of Defence Housing Authority's (DHA) Phase 6 in Karachi, according to Deputy Inspector General Syed Asad Raza. The development came to light after the CCTV footage of the incident, which occurred on August 21, went viral on social media. The three officers involved have been identified, and they are set to appear before the South DIG tomorrow for disciplinary proceedings. Both parties involved in the incident have been asked to attend the inquiry. Neighbours have also been requested to provide information about the event and any digital evidence. The Additional Inspector General of Police, Azad Khan, had previously sought a report within three days on the scuffle and any alleged misconduct by police personnel, requesting a \"complete and unbiased\" inquiry. The CCTV footage shows a woman using a dumbbell to attack another woman, while two individuals in what appeared to be police uniforms restrain the victim. A man later enters their home and argues with the woman, who subsequently bangs on their door and shouts obscenities. The incident's FIR, registered at Darakhshan police station, initially included sections related to theft of gold ornaments, but DIG Raza removed this section, stating that the incident appears to be a case of assault. The complainant, a resident of the fourth floor, alleged that a man, his sister, and their mother on the third floor came to their door due to a parking dispute. Upon opening the door, the family members verbally abused and threatened her, leading to the police taking the brother and sister into custody while their mother fled. The woman also claimed that her gold earring and two rings were stolen.",
