Numerous people have condemned the event and called for the police officer to be punished. Many individuals have expressed their fury and demanded justice for the elderly woman on social media.
The event has been denounced by the Sindh police, who have also pledged to punish those responsible. The statement stated that the Sindh police had “zero tolerance for such behavior and will take strong action against the responsible officer.”
This incident serves as a reminder of the need for police reform and improved training to guarantee that law enforcement personnel treat individuals with respect and decency. It serves as a reminder that considerable effort has to be done in Pakistan to end violence against women and safeguard their rights.
The elderly woman has gotten medical care and is apparently in stable health. She has not been identified. The abusers will be brought to justice after an investigation into the matter is completed.
