In Karachi, police officers are increasingly under threat as armed robbers took hostage the family of a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) in Gulistan-e-Jauhar. The robbers managed to loot the family’s valuables, highlighting the deteriorating security situation in the city.

In a separate incident, a case has been registered against five police personnel, including the Station House Officer (SHO) of Defense, at their own station.

This follows an incident on April 24, when police stopped law students during a snap check, suspecting them of illegal activities. Tensions escalated when students and lawyers arrived at the station to protest.

According to police reports, 4 to 5 robbers invaded the home of Traffic DSP Sindh, Kashif Nadeem, in a private society, holding his family at gunpoint and fleeing with cash, five tolas of gold, and other valuables.

This incident raises serious concerns about the safety of law enforcement officials and their families.

The case against the SHO and his team was filed at the request of Advocate Abid Hussain, as per court orders. Charges include attempted murder, threats, and concealing evidence.
