Police Officers in Karachi Accused of Breakfast Bill Dispute and Misconduct
In Karachi’s Korangi area, a dispute over a breakfast bill at a hotel has led to serious allegations against local police officers. According to Ali Muhammad, an employee at the hotel, police officers often visited the hotel for breakfast and left without paying. On a recent Friday morning, when asked to pay the bill, the officers allegedly tortured him.
Ali Muhammad further claimed that the officers arrested three other hotel employees on charges of unlawfully keeping cylinders. Additionally, the officers are accused of stealing 18 chairs and Rs 30,000 from the hotel’s counter. The head-muharrir of Korangi police station allegedly accepted money for the release of the detained employees on a personal guarantee.
In response to these allegations, SSP Korangi Tauheed Rehman has suspended the three officers involved—Shakir, Mudassar, and Waqas—pending a thorough investigation by SP Shah Faisal. The suspended officers are currently on administrative leave.
