Islamabad police and FC staff clash over a lodging issue.

ISLAMABAD: A fight broke out at a police station between representatives of the capital police and the Frontier Constabulary (FC) over a matter involving accommodations.

Police claim that the altercation occurred on the Secretariat’s property, which is in the Red Zone, where the officials, some of whom were armed, beat one another over a lodging issue. They said, “The event occurred as a result of bad management by senior officers who brought the two units together, which resulted in a violent conflict.”

They then allegedly traded insults before it quickly escalated into a fist brawl, according to the cops.

The officers claimed that although members of the police station staff rushed towards them and attempted to separate them, some of the individuals on both sides threatened their adversaries by brandishing weapons. Senior officers were also made aware of the situation and instructed to report to the police station immediately.

A superintendent of police (SP) responded by showing up at the police station and disarming the staff. Later, the police officers were told to leave the barracks. The SP was successful in mending relations between the parties. When contacted, a capital police public relations officer (PRO) stated that the problem had been
