Sindh Home Minister Ziaul Hassan Lanjar has sought an immediate report from DIG South after a Karachi gunpoint harassment video, purportedly showing men threatening citizens with firearms in the city's Defence Housing Authority (DHA) area, spread widely on social media.
What the minister ordered
Lanjar directed police to identify the men seen in the footage. He stressed that anyone who uses weapons to intimidate citizens must face justice. He also ordered a full inquiry into whether the video is authentic and into the circumstances around the alleged incidents.
The minister told DIG South to submit a report on the matter. He said a thorough investigation should follow, and that legal action must be taken if the allegations are confirmed.
What the viral clip appears to show
According to accounts of the widely shared footage, men travel in a car and threaten passers-by with firearms at different spots in DHA. They are also said to mock and intimidate people. One masked man is reportedly seen pointing a weapon at pedestrians.
The Karachi gunpoint harassment video has not been independently verified. It remains unclear when and where the scenes were filmed.
Police response so far
Police have not publicly confirmed who the men are. They have also not announced any arrests linked to the clip. The Sindh police department's next steps will depend on the DIG South report and on whether investigators can establish that the events in the footage took place as claimed.
Residents and officials will be watching how quickly DIG South replies and whether any firings, arrests or further statements follow once the authenticity probe is complete.
