Trigger Warning: Assault

Murad Ali Shah, Chief Minister of Sindh, has on Thursday issued directions to arrest the suspect who tried to sexually assault a girl in Karachi.

The man was caught on camera stopping his motorcycle, stripping off, and then trying to assault a girl who passed him by. The girl fought back, repelling the attack.

According to Sharjeel Inam Memon, the Information Minister of the province, the Chief Minister has taken notice of the matter and ordered the police to arrest the suspect immediately.

Police said that they had taken notice of the incident after the video started circulating on social media, but a formal complaint was not filed against the harasser yet. 

Police officials further added that following the directions by the CM, two teams have also been formed to nab the suspect. The teams include station house officers (SHOs) of two police stations.

The horrifying incident was allegedly recorded on Wednesday in the Gulistan-e-Johar area of Karachi.
