KARACHI: A private security guard violently beat a woman into unconsciousness in the Gulistan-e-Jauhar area of Karachi. A video of this incident has gone viral on social media.
According to the media reports, the security guard of a residence in the locality physically abused a woman at Noman Grand City in Gulistan-e-Jauhar Block 17 until she fell to the ground and passed out.
The police said the victim approached Shahrah-e-Faisal Police Station regarding the violence. She told officials that she was having a dispute with the union of the apartment building. However, she refused to file a case against the security guard.
In the viral video, the private security guard can be seen talking to a woman. He seems to get angry and slaps the woman hard enough for her to fall to the ground.
