According to a First Information Report (FIR) registered at Sabzazar Police Station, Traffic Warden Muhammad Zarif Ahmad was carrying out his duties when he stopped a motorcycle for violating helmet laws.
The rider, identified as Allah Dittah, was fined Rs2,000 for not wearing a helmet. Following the incident, Dittah reportedly threatened the officer, saying, “Stay here, I’ll be back and won’t spare you.”
Approximately 30 minutes later, a group of 7-8 people arrived at the scene, led by a woman identified as Safia, a news YouTuber. The group allegedly began interrogating with the officer, and when he refused, they became aggressive.
“The group threatened serious consequences, damaged the screen of my official motorcycle worth Rs25,000,” the traffic warden stated in his complaint. “They said they would block the road, make videos, defame my uniform, and make my video go viral on social media.”
The officer claimed Safia snatched his keys, while others pushed him around and made threats. The group allegedly tried to incite public unrest by blocking the road.
After calling the emergency helpline (15), the attackers fled the scene. With the help of a colleague, the officer apprehended two suspects, Shoaib and Aijaz, but Safia and five others, including Allah Dittah, managed to escape before police arrived.
A case has been filed under sections 186, 189, 341, 427, 149, 147, and 353 of the Pakistan Penal Code, and an investigation is underway to apprehend the remaining suspects.
