The widow of slain Karachi police officer Chaudhry Aslam has said she will produce a film based on her husband’s life and work.

 

 

Noreen Aslam told a private news channel in an interview that a controversial Indian film has misrepresented her husband’s role. “In India the film ‘Dhurandhar’ has been made against our forces their intentions have never been clear for Pakistan," she observed. 

 

 

She said that the portrayal reduced Chaudhry Aslam’s work to operations in Lyari, while ignoring his involvement in counterterrorism campaigns. According to her, “If they wanted to make a film, they should have made it on the TTP; instead, they made a film only on Lyari.”

 

 

Noreen Aslam stressed that her husband’s career cannot be defined through a single operation. “Chaudhry Aslam played major roles; we will make a film or bring it to life in the form of a drama because India limited his character only to Lyari.”

 

 

She said the project aims to show the full extent of his work. “His character was not limited to Lyari  he fought against the TTP and confronted some of the most dangerous networks,” she pointed out, adding that the film will present what she called her husband’s real legacy and the timeline of his service.

 

 

The comments came after the release of the Indian film Dhurandhar on December 5, which has prompted debate across Pakistani and Indian audiences. Viewers have said the film reduces Karachi to repeated scenes of explosions and violence.

 

 

Chaudhry Aslam Khan Swati served in the Sindh Police from the 1980s until his assassination in 2014. He worked on operations targeting organised crime groups, militant networks, and gangs across Karachi. 

 

 

On January 9, 2014, he was killed in a car bomb attack on the Lyari Expressway along with two police personnel, including his guard and driver.
