A distressing incident of indecency has surfaced in Karachi, as a man, captured in a viral video, exposed himself to female university students en route to their homes in a van, prompting Sindh Inspector General Rafat Mukhtar Raja to take notice of the incident.

The incident unfolded on one of Karachi's busiest roads, Rashid Minhas Road, further unsettling the public. The viral video, widely condemned on social media, shows a man wearing a helmet engaging in an indecent act, in what appears to be a harassment bid.
