According to the FIR, the British diplomat violated a traffic signal and was speeding when his vehicle collided with a motorcycle, seriously injuring the police officer on board. The injured officer, Amir Dad, is currently posted in the Kakar security division.

 

The incident occurred yesterday on Dastur Highway, where the policeman's motorcycle was destroyed in the accident. The FIR details the severity of the injuries sustained by Officer Amir Dad and highlights the diplomat's role in the traffic violation.
