A 60-year old lady lost her life after Kamoke Police beat her to death for not bribing them on their demand
In a chilling case that has sent shockwaves across the country, a 60-year-old woman lost her life and her three daughters have also been left severely injured during a police crackdown in Kamoke, Punjab. The raid, allegedly triggered by an extortion bribe demand, raises grave doubts over the abuse of power and the increasing menace of police brutality in Pakistan.
The Victim: An Elderly Mother Targeted
The victim, who was identified as Sharifan Bibi, was once a respected member of her area and had recently been involved in an intra-familial home conflict with her family. The remember had already been legally resolved, and bail had been obtained using her family members. Involving the court and despite that, a police team headed with the help of SHO Rao Inam, assisted by using eight other policemen, raided her house. Sources declare the raid was once retaliation for Sharifan Bibi refusal to pay a bribe of Rs10,000 demanded by using the SHO.
The Raid: From Dispute to Disaster
Eyes-witness bills and initial investigations indicate the police forcefully entered the house aggressively and in the absence of warning. The situation got out of hand very fast when the officers began physically assaulting the elderly woman. The violence exerted on Sharifan Bibi was too much for her, and she died from her accidents immediately. Her daughters Zainab, Urooj, and Misbah who attempted to protect their mother, had been further overwhelmed and were seriously injured.
Residents claimed hearing cries from the house but have been too scared to act, realizing the raid was earlier being conducted with the support of uniformed officers. The case has evoked outrage and concern among the residents in Kamoke who now question the integrity of these meant to protect them.
Legal Status: Case Already Settled
Ironically, the family had already gone to court, and the count number had been legally settled. Sharifan Bibi and her daughters had purchased bail, and the family dispute had been resolved peacefully with the spouse and children being part of it. That makes the raid all the more chilling, implying that the police movement was once far less about enforcing the rule and more about extorting money through intimidation.
Official Response: Vows of Justice
After getting word of the fatal accident, SSP Operations Rizwan Tariq and Saddar SP hastened to the site and took a meeting with the family of the victim. They assured them that stern action would be taken against all officers involved in what is now widely being criticized as a “heinous crime.” But human rights groups and civil society are demanding more than mere verbal reassurances they want arrests, clear investigations, and judicial accountability.
Public Reaction: Anger and Distrust
The Kamoke police raid has revived arguments around police reforms and the urgent need to establish independent oversight agencies. The public is angered, with persons calling for the immediate suspension of SHO Rao Inam and all the officials involved. The occurrence has gravely damaged public trust, primarily in a city where locals have complained bitterly of unbridled police abuse for years.
A Cry for Reform
The tragic loss of life of Sharifan Bibi is no longer simply any other headline it is a grim reminder of the unchecked electricity that can be wielded with the aid of these in uniform. As her daughters get better from their bodily injuries, the psychological trauma they now endure will probably closing a lifetime. This tragedy must be a call to action to bring about reform so that no family in Kamoke, or indeed anywhere in Pakistan, must endure such a preventable and cruel tragedy again.
