According to the FIR, woman Anam and her brother Asad have been named in the case.
The FIR states that the police officer was stationed at the PIDC checkpoint around 9 am because of the VVIP movement. The FIR further stated that the woman’s car was stopped for breaking the signal and being reckless.
“The policeman was talking to the driver (her husband) when the woman got out of her car and abused the policeman,” the FIR said.
“The woman abused and slapped DSP Traffic,” he added.
The FIR stated that the woman along with her brother, who claimed to be a law enforcement officer, reached the police station and threatened the DSP and other staff.
Police said that after registering a case, investigation has been started and the woman and her brother will be arrested soon.
Talking to the media, the DSP said that the woman assaulted him and kept saying that her brother was a high-ranking officer in the armed forces.
However, he added, he returned to the station to resolve the matter. The DSP said he could forgive him for personal injury and humiliation, but not for assaulting an on-duty police officer.
