  "summary": "A Karachi additional sessions court has issued notices to the South senior superintendent of police (SSP) and Darakhshan station house officer (SHO) in response to a resident's plea seeking the registration of a case over an apartment scuffle that occurred in Defence Housing Authority’s (DHA) Phase 6. The incident was captured on CCTV footage, which shows a woman hitting another woman with a dumbbell and two individuals in what appear to be police uniforms restraining the victim. Three policemen are currently facing disciplinary proceedings for their alleged involvement in the incident. The petitioner, whose lawyer is advocating for the registration of an FIR, claims that the police have not registered a case despite her request. The court has directed the South SSP and Darakhshan SHO to submit their replies by Wednesday.",
