KARACHI: Last year, arrest warrants were issued for KMC officers in the case of a civilian death due to a signboard collapse in Karachi. Former Municipal Commissioner Akhtar Ali Sheikh and two KMC directors, Azhar Ali and Tasleem Ali, have been issued arrest warrants.
The court has ordered the SHO Nazimabad to arrest the accused persons and present them in court on Monday, March 18. The court stated that it was the responsibility of the accused to ensure the proper maintenance of the signboards in their respective areas. These officers failed miserably in the performance of their duties and also attempted to conceal evidence of the incident. In August 2023, one person was killed and two others were injured in the signboard collapse in Nazimabad Underpass.
