KARACHI: Videos showing a policeman moping the floor and another being paraded with handcuffs in Karachi circulated on social media. They were made to do so by a judicial magistrate in the metropolis.
The West judicial magistrate made a cop in uniform mop the district court's floor and paraded another with handcuffs as punishment, reportedly for failure to comply with standard operating procedures (SOPs) of the court.
Surjani Town Police said both the cases were separate instances that took place on July 24 and 27, 2023 during a hearing at the court when the Surjani Police's investigation in charge, SIO Tariq Khalid appeared before the West judicial magistrate and civil judge.
As per details, Khalid was ordered to mop the floor outside the court while another sub-inspector Ilyas Shah was handcuffed and sentenced to seven days in prison for not following the SOPs.
A senior police officer revealed on the condition of anonymity that at least eight other policemen have submitted written complaints regarding the mistreatment by the judicial magistrate.
