Police in Gabol town allegedly committed grave negligence in their crackdown against beggary network following court orders as they hurried unduly in arresting an injured female factory worker standing on a bus stand.
Reportedly, in order to boast to their senior officers they are passionate, the personnel have gone too far and without following the protocol, arrested an innocent woman as they mistook her for a beggar due to limp in her walk and wound on her feet.
It may be noted that according to Shagufta, who is a factory employee, she was waiting for the bus after she was mauled by a stray dog early in the day and to get this treated, she took an early off from her shift.
She said she categorically told police her wound was following a dog bite she suffered moments ago, but police, perhaps too desperate, apparently did not deem it fit to inquire first before making an arrest which has caused her and her family a great deal humiliation.
I was waiting for a bus to get to Jinnah Hospital for my treatment when police arrested me, she said. But the story didn’t end here, as Shagufta claimed she was shifted to an unknown spot after police learned of the matter and her family was informed.
Her family and she staged protest outside Gabol Town Police Station and demand higher ups to take cognizance of what happened today.
