KARACHI: Karachi Police chief Azad Khan took notice on Sunday of the violent scuffle between two families in Defence’s Khayaban-e-Bukhari and sought a report within three days on the alleged misconduct of police officers visible in the viral video.
The Karachi police chief has ordered the relevant authorities to present a full account of the officers’ conduct
Separately, DIG South Asad Raza has summoned both parties to his office on Monday, along with the officers allegedly involved in the incident.
Sources said the officers visible in the video belonged to the Korangi district, and that details of the involved personnel had been sought from SSP Korangi. DIG South also said forensic examination of the video would be carried out.
The viral CCTV footage showed a woman descending the stairs of the apartment building alongside uniformed police officers, holding a dumbbell in her hands, before repeatedly striking another woman standing outside the flat.
When the victim resisted, the police officers restrained the victims — the woman being assaulted and her companion — rather than the attacker. A plainclothes individual was also seen taking an officer’s official weapon and using it to smash a CCTV camera.
