An unfortunate incident occurred yesterday in Karachi, where a police officer was severely wounded after allegedly being run over by a vehicle belonging to the son of a serving government official. The injured officer, Mukhtiyar Ahmed, was on duty at Sahil police station when he stopped a suspected vehicle at a check post. The accused, who identified himself as Saqib Wasim and claimed to be the son of former Interior Secretary Wasim Shamshad, threatened the officer and fled in his vehicle, leaving the officer unconscious with multiple broken limbs.
Despite the registration of an FIR, no arrests have been made, and the investigation officer has remained tight-lipped about the incident. However, after the new SSP South Sajid Saduzai took charge, a case was registered against the suspect. The incident took place on December 19, 2023, in the limits of Sahil Police Station in Defence Housing Authority (DHA) Phase 8. The officer is currently undergoing treatment in the Civil hospital, and efforts are underway to apprehend the suspect.
