ISLAMABAD — Islamabad’s police force is facing a formal parliamentary inquiry after a high-ranking lawmaker took legal action against a local station chief for aggressive and disrespectful behavior.
Senate Opposition Leader Allama Raja Nasir Abbas initiated the complaint on Tuesday, targeting Sub-inspector Naeemul Hassan over a highly contentious confrontation.

The political friction began on Monday when law enforcement authorities blocked a prominent group of opposition figures from traveling into Azad Jammu and Kashmir to support ongoing regional demonstrations.
According to the filed grievance, the Bhara Kahu station manager intercepted the senator’s vehicle at a security blockade set up just two kilometers from his home.
Abbas reported that a large contingent of police officers surrounded his car, issuing aggressive and dismissive orders to halt his journey.
Even though the opposition leader explicitly identified himself and explained he was simply trying to return to his private residence, the officer reportedly ignored standard protocols.
Abbas alleges he was subjected to insulting treatment at the checkpoint and was ultimately forced to abandon his vehicle and proceed to his house on foot.
The motion argues that the confrontational stance of the police directly interfered with a federal lawmaker’s freedom of movement and showed deep disrespect to the upper house.
The Senate has now been urged to hand the matter over to its internal disciplinary committee to pursue immediate punitive measures and legal action against the officer involved.
