A distressing video showing a uniformed police officer abusing a female beggar has gone popular on social media. Asad Raza, the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) in South Karachi, has made strong steps to restore public trust in the police service.
Constable Abdul Aziz from Aram Bagh police station is seen in the widely distributed video standing next to a desperate woman, offering her a bottle of wine. The distraught woman hurriedly steps back, but the officer continues to sip from the bottle. Later, he hands a cigarette to the beggar, who accepts it and walks away.
