A fresh case has been registered after an inquiry found that the allegations in the first FIR over a scuffle outside a Karachi apartment were “not substantiated” by the evidence, Dawn reported.

The dispute occurred last month at an apartment building in Defence Housing Authority’s Phase 6. CCTV footage of the altercation surfaced on social media last week. It showed police officials restraining one woman while another woman attacked her with a dumbbell.

Despite the footage, the initial FIR named the woman who was assaulted and her brother. The inquiry report later rejected the allegations in that case and recommended departmental action against the police officials involved. It also recommended disposing of the first FIR.

A resident has now sought action against her neighbours and police personnel, and another case was registered at Darakhan police station on September 5. The supplied report ends while describing the new case.
