Sindh IG, home minister take notice of footage of man firing on Karachi's Shahra-e-Faisal
23
Sindh Home Minister Sohail Anwar Siyal on Saturday took notice of a video showing a young man firing on Karachi's Shahra-e-Faisal and using foul language against an unknown person.
The video circulating on social media since Friday night shows a man, who identifies himself as Adnan Pasha, waving a gun and firing shots in the air on an empty road that he claims is the main Shahra-e-Faisal in Karachi.
Amid expletives, Pasha challenges — it is unclear who — "to stop him if they can". Home minister Siyal, taking notice of media reports about the video, ordered the senior superintendent of police East to hold an enquiry into the matter and submit a detailed report "immediately".
Sindh Inspector General of Police (IGP) A.D. Khowaja also ordered the deputy inspector general East to conduct an investigation and submit a detailed report of the incident.

Both PPP government in Sind and PML(N) in Punjab have completely failed to maintain peace in the provinces. The main culpirits are the Police departments who are part of these crimes.

Firing in the air in a densely populated city should be seen as attempted murder.

This person should have been swift away quietly by law enforcement agencies and teach him a lesson with full force of the law and not make him a celebrity. No one should have advertised this video beyond its original. Let's not follow the path of west. This is the time to come out of fantasy shadow of them

What's with writing and submitting a report ? Local police should arrest him for disturbing the peace.

Passing on order from superiors down the line i.e. chain.of command or through proper channel had made the entire administration.of maintaing law order stale and obselete. The policy to nip in the bud required to be pursued on the spot by any one irrespective of heirarchy. It may cause delay and waste of evidence of committing crime. Decentralization of powers is the call of time to make enviroment peaceful for a common man of society.

What a useless response to a useless man's video. Meanwhile police chief has 'Taken notice' and asked for a report. Is that a news worthy procedural step, while the culprit has probably made arrangements to flee.

Karachi is increasingly being populated by people from northern and interior parts of provinces. There must be a control to stop influx in the city.

What does taking notice mean? I have read about several high officials taking notice of various events. However very little is reported any subsequent action taken by the authorities?
