KARACHI – Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab arrived at the Sindh Assembly on an electric bike, where a police officer initially mistook him for an ordinary citizen and attempted to close the gate. However, accompanying staff intervened and got the gate opened.
According to reports, the mayor traveled on an electric bike from the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) head office to the Sindh Assembly for a meeting, and a video of the incident has also been released.
In the video, it can be seen that upon reaching the gate, a police officer did not recognize him and tried to close the main entrance, after which the mayor’s staff intervened and had the gate opened.
When journalists asked whether he came on a bike due to fear of Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman, the mayor responded that he fears no one except Allah.
