Traffic police officers have submitted a petition at Ferozabad police station for legal action against PTI MNA Assembly Aamir Liaquat Hussain.
According to their statement, Liaquat kept accusing a traffic officer of harassing the public and shouted at him when the officer came forward to speak to him.
Traffic police officials claim that Liaquat also expressed anger when he saw a traffic constable pulling a motorcyclist over near the Nursery Bridge. The officials say that the PTI MPA punched the government vehicle, pushed the officers and used abusive language.
On Monday, a video of Aamir Liaquat went viral, showing him shouting at a traffic police warden. He claimed that the warden was asking for bribes from people who were not carrying their vaccination cards.
Speaking to SAMAA TV’s morning show Naya Din, Liaquat defended himself by saying that he was someone who stood by the people of Karachi and wanted to help solve their problems.
He said that the role of the police is of a paternal nature and they should hold those who break the law responsible.
Earlier, after the video of him had gone viral, Liaquat had released a video message in which he criticised Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah. “What is your government doing on Karachi’s roads? Please ensure this stops or citizens will grow agitated,” he said.
