As many as four men were arrested on Sunday for allegedly thrashing a policeman at the Khayban-e-Shahbaz area of Karachi, a private media outlet reported.
According to the police officials, the victim police officer, stationed at the Sahil police station, was on his way to the station when four men coming in a vehicle stopped him at a signal, and later assaulted him in broad daylight.
According to some eyewitness accounts, the men appeared to be intoxicated, and the policeman does not look to be at fault.
Police have arrested two men involved in the incident, while their other two accomplices are on the run.
Sources said that one of the arrestees is the son of a prominent personality and the law enforcement authority is under pressure from certain circles to not take action against him.
Meanwhile, police have nominated all four men at the Darakhshan police station and carrying out raids to arrest the absconders.
The suspects nominated in the case are; Rohail Hasaan, Sandeep Kumar, Nikal Tikwai and Parosoi Tikwai. Sandeep Kumar and Rohail Hassan are under custody.
Police included anti-terror clauses in the case. According to the FIR, Sandeep and his aides attacked at the policeman with iron rods.
