An elderly beggar woman was subjected to a brutal assault by a Sindh Police officer on Minara Road near Shalimar Phatak in Sukkur.
Eyewitnesses and videos of the incident showed that the in-charge of 15 Police Helpline tortured the woman and then proceeded to remove her burka, using it to inflict further violence upon her.
The officer’s abuse was not limited to physical violence, as he was also reported to have verbally abused the victim.

The incident followed a scuffle between several beggar women competing for alms, in which one woman was beaten by multiple others.
The police officer’s actions have raised concerns over the use of excessive force in the resolution of minor disagreements. The situation also highlights the ongoing struggle for basic human rights faced by marginalized individuals in society.
SSP Sukkur, Singhar Malik, said that the involved police officer has been suspended after allegations of mistreatment towards beggars came to light and an investigation has been launched.
The SSP has appointed DSP Rohri to present initial findings on the matter as soon as possible. The SSP asserted that no citizen should be subjected to torture.
talk is easy but this country has gone to the dogs of authoritarianism.
When the politicians and army billionaires are running everything for selfinterest; death squads/abductions by the genocidal army thugs; with no impunity; is it a wonder why Baloch people are saying enough – fight fire with bricks and stones.
You politicians cry kashmir always – but do the same to the poor and down trodden – In East Pakistan/Balochistan and elsewhere. This is no surprise after watching this video.
I will sponsor this poor lady as she is like my grand mother as long as my breath is alive.
Shame on the macho bystanders who looked on; shame on the macho jahils who raised hands on this innocent woman. This country is cursed by the people’s whose badduaas these politicians have raised.
Firaonistan………. This is no longer an islamic country —> all run by shaitans; throw out all the fake mullahs; and burn the mosques down; for you are a nation not worthy anymore of being called PAK!!!. GANDISTAN.
The Koran is not worthy of being read in this Phiraonistan; it is condemned to the gates of Jahum.
