Peshawar BRT Incident
A senior official from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has been arrested by the Peshawar police for shooting and injuring a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) security guard. The incident took place when the official forcefully entered the restricted BRT route.
According to the latest report, Arbab Faisal, a senior joint director at CAA currently stationed in Islamabad, was seen driving his Black Mercedes Benz E-Class on the BRT route.
BRT guards tried to stop him, but the CAA official fired shots, injuring a security guard. Faisal managed to escape initially but was later caught in the Regi area on the outskirts of Peshawar.
A case has been registered against him under section 324 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) at the East police station. The CAA official appeared before judicial magistrate Dolat Khan’s court on Wednesday. Initially, the court was to issue a physical remand but decided to place him in judicial custody for 14 days in the central prison.
The use of weapons to bully and intimidate others is perilously common in Pakistan and warrants the attention of the authorities.
Obviously the corolla guy is from a privileged class, using their status/money for bullying and getting undue favor is the norm of Pakistani society, the forefront of which are the governmnt people
