Every day we hear much news about woman abuse and harassment. There has been a video which has gone viral on social media.

In the video, it is seen how a constable in Karachi government office slapped a woman TV reporter . The act was caught on security camera and authorities are being forced to probe on this matter.

"Interior minister Chaudhary Nisar Ali Khan ordered the inquiry after a female anchor for a local television channel was slapped by a Frontier Corps constable at the office of the National Authority for Database Registration (NADRA)," officials said.

"Minister Khan has been informed about the incident and he has ordered an inquiry. A complete footage of the incident has been dispatched to him," officials were quoted as saying in the local media.

In order to scare away the people present in the office, the constable even fired in the air.

This video has led to the nation speaking about the brutality of security guards as well as the aggressive behavior of the reporter.

"Her behavior was also not proper and she should not have provoked the guard," Fazil Jamali, the President of the Karachi Press Club, said.

In the video, the reporter is seen trying to enter NADRA office in Liaquatabad along with her cameraman. She then suddenly starts shouting loudly on camera how the security guards were misbehaving with her cameraman and other people.

Later the reporter is seen confronting the guard constantly. She even warns the security guard to stay away from the cameraman.

"Don't you have a mother or sisters? Don't you have shame treating people like this," the reporter asks the constable. Then she is seen questioning the guard continuously before he turns around and slaps her and then fires in the air.

The reporter works for the Karachi-based K-21 channel. She said "I had gone to the NADRA office after getting complaints about the public facing hardships. The guard has now disappeared but a FIR has been filed against him on the complaint of the reporter."

Though the reporter filed a FIR aginst the security guard, a counter FIR was filled by police. NADRA office head alleged that the reporter obstructed official duty and worn the uniform of the guard.
