KARACHI: A sessions court on Tuesday issued notices to the SSP Complaint Cell and SHO Darakshan police station on a plea of a woman seeking registration of an FIR against policemen and her neighbours in DHA Phase VI over allegations of assault.
Recently, CCTV footage of an argument between two residents — Mariyum and Noor-ul-Ain — in the DHA had surfaced on social media. Three policemen are also facing charges for their “involvement” in the scuffle.
An FIR was first registered against the current applicant, Noor-ul-Ain, and her brother on Aug 21 on charges of assaulting their neighbour, Mariyum. However, both of them managed to secure bail.
On Tuesday, Noor-ul-Ain, through her counsel Muhammad Arif, moved an application before Additional District and Sessions Judge (South) Abdul Zahoor Chandio, seeking directions for registration of an FIR against Mariyum and others, including three policemen, and also sought protection for herself and her family.
After a preliminary hearing, the court issued notices to the SSP Complaint Cell, SHO Darakshan and the proposed accused persons, directing them to appear before the court in person or through a pleader on Wednesday (today).
Speaking to Dawn, counsel for the complainant said his client had also moved a separate petition on Tuesday before the Sindh High Court seeking quashment of the FIR registered against her and her brother.
