During the long march, the enraged woman was reportedly setting fire to the trees with her companions and lost cool when she was stopped by the policeman and vented her anger on the constable.

Rawalpindi police CPO Syed Shehzad Nadeem Bukhari awarded appreciation certificate and cash prize to the constable “for his exemplary conduct”.
