Man who harassed woman in broad daylight in Karachi arrested

In a significant development, Karachi police have arrested a man for harassing and groping a veiled woman in Pak colony area of Karachi.

Deputy Inspector General (DIG) South Asad Reza confirmed that the suspect was arrested with the help of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) footage.

During interrogation, the suspect confessed to sexually assaulting and groping the victim, the police official added.

A day earlier, a disturbing video went viral on social media, raising concerns over the security and safety of women in the metropolis.

In the viral video, a man can be seen blatantly groping a woman from behind, who was passing by in a street of a residential area in Karachi's Pak Colony.

The harasser's face was clearly seen in the video, who fled away easily after the woman showed resistance.

However, the victim has not contacted the police to launch an investigation into the matter, but the law enforcers have lodged a case against the suspect.

It may be noted that this is the second such incident of the year 2024, as multiple cases of street harassment came to light last year.
