Summary Statement issued by SSP South has given the case a new direction raising numerous questions.
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Karachi Police on Wednesday night in a statement related to a video showing a policeman violently beating a woman in the presence of her child, said that the policeman shown in the video was just a guard of a security company and not one of their officers. The statement given by Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) south has given the case a new direction raising numerous questions. Police quickly came into action after the video surfaced on news channels. The man in police uniform was arrested and an interrogation has been started.
However, the rapid action by the police and the issued statement has raised further questions instead of answering any. A guard of a private security company adorns a police uniform but no inquiry is made or questions asked as to how the guard managed to get hold of the uniform, who allowed him to conduct the brutal investigation and why the woman involved was not presented before the court. The facts of the case leave a big question mark on the condition of our law enforcement agencies and the answers to these questions are yet to be provided by a department that has been designated to safeguard the lives of its citizens.

The video shows Rehana being questioned and savagely thrashed in by a guard in a police uniform in Karachi’s Clifton Gulf market. The video also shows a terrified looking child believed to be Rehana’s child.
The video shocked and outraged the public after which Chief Minister (CM) Sindh Syed Qaim Ali Shah ordered the Inspector-General (IG) to submit a report of the incident.
