Karachi police arrested a primary suspect along with two staff members for assaulting a resident in the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) region. The incident drew notice when a video went viral on social media earlier in the day.
Arrested from DHA was Salman Farooqi, whose opulent car was confiscated. In a statement, Karachi South Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Syed Asad Raza verified this.
Driving a Land Cruiser, Salman Farooqi reportedly assaulted a bike rider accompanying a woman on Khayaban-i-Ittehad road following a little collision. He supposedly tortured the guy right then.
Earlier, during late-night searches of Farooqi’s office and DHA home, police detained his driver and armed guard. DIG Raza stated that the government did not employ the suspect.
DIG Raza further stated that the victim did not go to the police to file a report, and attempts were being made to contact the victim’s family.
Farooqi, along with his driver and guard, saw the Gizri police register a first information report (FIR). A citizen named Mohammad Saleem filed the FIR under provisions 354 and 506-B of the Pakistan Penal Code.
Other chapters covered 34 (common intention), 342 (wrongful confinement), and 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace). Saleem introduced himself as the cell manager of a cellular company.
Saleem claims the event occurred near Ittehad Commercial on Sunday at approximately 8:35 pm. A small crash occurred between the Land Cruiser and a bike.
The complainant said Farooqi held the biker within his car. He then used threatening, insulting language and struck him. She tried to stop him; he shoved her back with disdain.
DIG Raza remarked that police were treating the situation “quite seriously.” He promised “complete justice” for the victim and added, “No one is above the law.”
Karachi Additional IG Javed Alam Odho and Sindh Home Minister Ziaul Hasan Lanjar also commissioned a thorough report. Telling the South SSP to respond against the offenders, they asserted that nobody is above the law.
