Rawalpindi - Police have apprehended a woman who fled the scene of a deadly crash that injured an on-duty officer of the National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMWP) earlier this year, according to informed sources on Wednesday. The accused lady driver was detained in Islamabad by a team of Rawalpindi police, led by Inspector Zahid Zahoor, and taken to Police Station (PS) Naseerabad. Additionally, police seized her car, which she used during the crime, sources added. According to the First Information Report (FIR) filed with PS Naseerabad on the complaint of Senior Patrol Officer (SPO) Inspector Muhammad Sabir, the woman is facing various charges, including attempted murder and reckless driving, for leaving the scene of a hit-and-run accident and failing to surrender to the police. Two days ago, a video went viral on social media showing the woman arguing with NHMWP officers over reducing the fine amount imposed on her for overspeeding at a Toll Plaza in Islamabad. Upon refusal by the police officers, she not only engaged in a verbal clash with them but also crushed SPO Muhammad Sabir under her car and fled the scene on January 1, 2024.
