KARACHI – The trend of police officers caught taking free items on video continues, with a new clip showing an officer taking a bottle of refreshing drink during Ramadan going viral on social media.
Earlier, a video surfaced of a Shaheen Noor Jahan police officer taking a melon from a fruit vendor without paying. Following this, the officer from Madadgar 15, who took the drink, was suspended.
According to the Karachi Police spokesperson, SSP Madadgar 15 Imran Shaukat took notice of the viral video, which shows a sub-inspector taking a bottle without payment from a mart in the Site B police station’s jurisdiction.
SSP Madadgar 15 immediately suspended Sub-Inspector Javed and ordered an internal inquiry.
The video shows the masked officer approaching the counter, requesting a bottle of sherbet (a traditional drink), and removing his mask when asked for payment. He then takes the bottle and leaves without paying.
A few days earlier, another viral video showed a District Central police officer from Shaheen Noor Jahan police station taking a melon from a street vendor near Qalandria Chowk. The officer, identified as Zafar, argued with the vendor and issued threats.
