An assistant sub-inspector (ASI) of Madina Town Police Station has been booked after an audio recording surfaced in which he was allegedly demanding a bribe from a rickshaw driver.
According to the police, the case was registered on the complaint of SHO Madina Town, Muzaffar Ali Khokhar. The report stated that ASI Ghulam Abbas, posted at the station, allegedly demanded a bribe from a rickshaw driver, bringing disrepute to the police department and exceeding his authority.
