KARACHI – Five policemen were injured in a brawl with personnel of the Pakistan Navy at Hawk’s Bay on Sunday.
According to the police, the fight erupted when a Pakistan Navy officer tried to enter the Hawk’s Bay area along with his family despite a ban on entry to the tourist resort.
All tourist places are closed in Sindh in line with the SOPs aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19 in the province.
A video circulating on social media shows armed navy personnel thrashing the police officials deployed at the entrance to Hawk’s Bay to stop people from entering the beach.
Media reports say the navy officer, whose identity is not known yet, came in a private car, but the policemen on duty at the entrance did not allow him to enter the Hawk’s Bay area due to coronavirus restrictions.
