ASP Sheharbano Naqvi, who rescued a terrorised woman from a charged mob, is now being nominated for the highest gallantry award- the Quaid-e-Azam Police Medal.


In a viral video circulating online, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Shehrbano was seen trying to calm an angry crowd of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) supporters who were allegedly angry with a woman in a small restaurant. The woman was wearing a dress with Arabic letters printed on it. Without knowing what the letters meant, men around her got offended and accused her of blasphemy by wearing Quranic Ayats. ASP Shehrbano reached in time and saved the woman from the crowd.

She was praised on social media for defusing the situation in a controlled manner.


However, it is not the first time ASP Sheharbano has been praised for doing the right. In November last year, she became the face of a soft image of the Punjab Police when she, along with the IG Punjab Dr Usman Anwar, inaugurated a one-of-a-kind Pet Park in Lahore.

She also made headlines for her compassion towards sniffer dogs of the police department who are now adopted after retirement instead of being euthanized.
