A woman misbehaved with a traffic police officer who had stopped her over breaking a traffic signal in the upscale Defence Housing Authority (DHA) neighbourhood of Karachi.

According to a video posted on the social networking platform Twitter by multiple users, a woman driver was stopped by a traffic police officer on duty over jumping a traffic signal.

In the video, the woman, instead of admitting her mistake or even responding politely, started verbally abusing and threatening the traffic police officer for daring to confront her for the offense.

When the officer told her she had “engaged in signal violation” and would be fined for it, she said: “I’ll break your face.” “You’re jumping the signal and, on top of it, you’re verbally abusing me,” responded the officer, to which she said: “Get out of here, get lost!”

After threateningly telling him to “remember his worth” and calling him an old man in spite, she fled when the traffic police officer tried to issue her a traffic violation fine.

The car, according to traffic police officials, is registered to a certain Pir Roshan Din Shah Rashdi.

Police later decided to pursue action against her for the violation of traffic rules and misbehaving with and abusing an officer.

A First Information Report (FIR) against the woman has been registered with the Darakshan Police Station, reports said.
