I have been driving in Karachi for more than 16 years now and due to my extensive travelling within the city, i have dealt with almost all breeds of corrupt police walas. I have been stopped for driving
without license,
without registration book,
giving out smoke,
shades on the back windows,
expired excise tax,
eating chip,
cold drink (they didnt ask for anything just cold drinks which i bought them),
Accused of drinking (I never Drink!)
Accused of smoking pot ( I never do!)
stopped for driving with a girl (on sunsaan road)
There are a countless number of times when i was stopped and despite irregularities i was let go only because i gave them respect and requested for "maafi".
But then i again when i was stopped because i was eating chips really pissed me off and the random number f times when i was stopped between 2-4AM and accused of drinking. I used to tell them sir meri shakal he aisi ha.
I am surprised over the behavior of ISB police though, the last time i was in ISB on LHR registered city, i went thru a million nakkas even the ones near red zone where we were staying. We were three guys and would normally ask Nakkas for direction. Same experience with driing on KHI registered vehicle in LHR & ISB... never bothered....
Worst police IMO can be found between HYD & Bahalwalpour. These guys are dakait and ask for a 1000 bucks for no reason. They do nt even have proper uniforms and belts. They stopped me while i was driving with my wife n kid which NEVER happens in Karachi.
