Traffic wardens beat up man in Karachi over motorcycle parking

Fight broke out after man got into an argument with wardens over his motorcycle which was parked in a no parking zone

A man was rounded up after he got into a scuffle with traffic wardens in Karachi's PIDC area for parking his motorcycle in a no parking zone, Express News reported.

The fight broke out when the man, Shafiq, allegedly questioned traffic wardens for moving his motorcycle. The video showed the man being beaten up by three traffic wardens, who were later joined by two Sindh police officers.



The man retaliated by kicking and punching the wardens and hurling abuses at them. "The man used foul language and hit me with his helmet, that is when other officers intervened," the traffic warden said.

The man had reportedly parked his motorcycle in a no parking zone outside a bank in the PIDC area, which the traffic wardens said is a 'senior police officer's parking spot'.



He was later taken into police custody on charges of breaking the law and causing harm to traffic wardens.
