KARACHI: After receiving endless complaints about the police’s performance in Karachi, the Additional Inspector General of Police of the metropolitan city has taken notice of their misuse of power.
Police in Karachi are criticised for misusing their authority, particularly by not registering FIRs and extorting money from the public.

The Additional IGP has proposed that each police station should have a notice board with a complaint section where people can go and register their complaints against the police. This can also be done by calling on the police helpline, Madadgar-15.
Further, the IGP will pay ‘surprise visits’ to police stations to see if the police are complying by rules.
