From time to time, such incidents come up front on social media creating a chaotic prospect among the awaam. In a similar incident last year, a man in Karachi’s Gulberg misbehave with on-duty traffic police officials. The police officers tried to his vehicle over violation of traffic rules.
Instead of stopping his vehicle, the man tried to escape by running down the traffic police officials. One officer even tried to stop him by taking out his car keys. The residents of the area were able to catch the man. Fortunately, none of the traffic police officials got an injury during the incident.
Unfortunately, despite having a video of the former member Balochistan Assembly Abdul Majeed Khan Achakzai in the Quetta traffic warden hit-and-run case, he was set free. Achakzai was arrested in June 2017, days after his speeding vehicle ran over traffic warden Haji Attaullah at Quetta’s GPO Chowk.
Video of the incident made rounds on social media. In fact, even the warden lost his life at the hospital after suffering from serious injuries. A cyclist, Abdul Ghafoor Baloch was also injured by Achakzai’s vehicle. Nonetheless, the court claimed to have not found any evidence against the former MPA.
